I've provided a more detailed analysis of what's happened with the old versus new drivers in this forum post (opens in new tab). This means faster updates so you can Game On even sooner with less bandwidth consumed, all with zero compromises in performance or features made." Our engineers put the old 1.3GB driver download on a diet with smarter compression algorithms. This latest driver release punches above its weight, now down to 604 megabytes from nearly double that when the Intel Arc desktop GPUs launch in October.
"Good things come in small packages - the Intel Arc graphics driver package, specifically. The running total of weight loss since October is at 761MB, making Arc a serious contender for the Biggest Loser: they're 44% of the drivers they once were! While we're not entirely sure about all of the details, Intel's driver blog states (opens in new tab) has this to say: The current 4255 drivers that came out last night dropped another 284MB in girth. The next day, a different driver came out, reducing the size by 186MB, but that was only the beginning. By March, the first driver release that month had lopped off about 100MB in size for the Raptor Lake-U laptop launch. Note that late January was when we wrote the piece about how bloated Intel's drivers seemed to be compared to AMD and Nvidia. Later in October, the size dropped by about 170 MB.įrom then until February, the size of Intel's Arc drivers remained pretty consistent at around 1.2 GB. Why the extra 500+ MB? Part of it was merging the Arc Control Center into the main driver download, and there were bug fixes and other factors that likely played a role. There are a few things worth pointing out, like the jump in size when Intel went from just supporting the A380 (and various existing integrated graphics solutions) to the official Arc launch drivers.
