Intel’s release of new graphic drivers brings about versions 31.0.101.5084 and 31.0.101.5122 for their Arc, Iris Xe, and Core Ultra graphics. However, note that the release notes from Intel lack clarity and detail regarding new features or fixes. These updates come with known issues, particularly for users of Intel Arc Series and Intel Core Ultra with Intel Arc graphics.

AMD’s Adrenalin 23.12.1 WHQL driver is designed to support ‘Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora.’ Additionally, there are improvements to AMD Link drivers, with a note that they won’t be supported after January 2024. The update also brings enhancements to the software interface and introduces energy-saving features with HYPR-RX Eco.

It’s important to note that while these new drivers promise improvements, they may introduce changes that affect certain scenarios. Therefore, it’s essential to consider the necessity of these fixes and updates based on your specific system requirements before deciding to proceed with the updates.
