Switching XeSS-SR to Balanced increased performance to 50-60 FPS. Finally, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.notebookcheck.net\/Intel-still-has-a-few-surprises-for-its-GPU-users-as-evidence-of-new-FPS-boosting-tech-surfaces.1123165.0.html\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"internal-link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Intel XeSS Frame Generation<\/a> enabled, the Intel Xe Low Latency Frame Rate Target set to zero, and XeSS returned to Quality, the game achieved 80-90 FPS. &#13;<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">Marvel Rivals at 1440p High with XeSS Quality consistently stayed above 60 FPS even during intense battles. &#13;<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">Doom: The Dark Ages delivered around 71 FPS on average at 1080p with Nightmare settings and no scaling, while <a href=\"https:\/\/www.notebookcheck.net\/Forza-Horizon-5-Performance-Analysis.579037.0.html\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"internal-link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Forza Horizon 5<\/a> ran particularly well, averaging over 100 FPS at 1440p Ultra without scaling. Throughout all tests, the GPU\u2019s power consumption remained near 50 W with utilisation consistently between 98 and 100%. &#13;<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">The Intel Arc Pro B50 isn\u2019t built as a gaming GPU, yet ETA Prime\u2019s tests show that it can deliver surprisingly playable performance in modern titles when combined with features like XeSS and frame generation. If you\u2019d like to see the full build in action and how the card handled different games, it\u2019s worth watching the complete video for a closer look at both the setup and the gameplay results.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After switching from the Pro driver to Intel\u2019s gaming driver, ETA Prime tested several titles on the Arc&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":167189,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[75590,75592,75583,75584,268,75591,59,269,75582,75586,75585,75587,262,75589,267,261,270,266,263,129,86,265,264,56,54,55,75588],"class_list":["post-167188","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-16-gb-vram-gpu","tag-50w-graphics-card","tag-arc-pro-b50-benchmarks","tag-arc-pro-b50-gaming","tag-benchmarks","tag-compact-gaming-pc-gpu","tag-gb","tag-graphics-card","tag-intel-arc-pro-b50","tag-intel-arc-pro-b50-performance","tag-intel-arc-pro-b50-review","tag-intel-arc-workstation-gpu","tag-laptop","tag-low-profile-gpu","tag-netbook","tag-notebook","tag-processor","tag-reports","tag-review","tag-reviews","tag-technology","tag-test","tag-tests","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom","tag-xess-frame-generation"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/167188","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=167188"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/167188\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/167189"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=167188"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=167188"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=167188"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
