Intel graphics driver brings a performance metrics overlay and Forza Horizon 6 support

Support for newly releasing games like Forza Horizon 6 and Subnautica 2, as well as a brand-new performance metrics overlay has hit Intel drivers.

Intel ARC graphics users can now update their drivers to get their hands on the new performance metrics overlay for quickly accessing how games are running on their machines.

There are new Intel Arc Graphics drivers rolling out now for Intel integrated and discrete GPU owners, and they have support for new games as well as a useful feature for tracking performance.

This 32.0.101.8801 non-WHQL release is what you want if Forza Horizon 6, LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, or Subnautica 2 are in your future gaming schedules, with official support available now.

At the same time, Intel Graphics users will see a brand-new performance overlay they can use to track in-game frame rates, GPU and CPU utilization statistics, and more with a high amount of customizability.

"This new overlay offers many customization options including automatic game/app detection, target GPU and display selection, predefined and custom styles, and appearance settings," explains Intel. "Overlay can be enabled using the "Metrics Overlay" button in Performance -> Metrics page or using Alt+Shift+O hotkey."
