Intel releases new graphics driver with Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Beta support

If you have a computer with Intel graphics and you want to play Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Beta, the latest Intel driver will help you get the best experience possible. Intel has released driver 32.0101.8135 non-WHQL (could be a little less stable than WHQL releases) with optimizations for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Beta and a single bugfix for Topaz Video.

The driver adds support for the game on systems with Intel Arc A-series and B-series graphics cards and Intel Core Ultra processors with built-in Intel Arc graphics. As for fixed bugs, Intel resolved intermittent visual corruption in the export window in Topaz Video on systems with Intel Core Ultra Series 2 chips.

Here are the known bugs that remain:

Intel Arc B-Series Graphics Products:

• Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Beta (DX12) may exhibit corruption on certain light sources during gameplay.
• Visual corruptions may appear in certain scenarios with multiple application interactions.
• Satisfactory (VK) may experience an application crash while launching game. It is recommended to launch the game with default DX12 API to avoid application crash.
• World of Warcraft: Dragonflight may experience an application crash while switching Graphics API to DX11.
• PugetBench for Davinci Resolve Studio may experience an intermittent application crash while running the benchmark. Recommendation is to change the timeout slider to 1500 seconds or higher, to wait for each test to complete, in PugetBench* benchmark settings.

Intel Arc A-Series Graphics Products:

• Satisfactory (VK) may experience an application crash while launching game. It is recommended to launch the game with default DX12 API to avoid application crash.
• Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 (DX12) may experience an application crash with Ray-Tracing and XeSS enabled.
• World of Warcraft: Dragonflight may experience an application crash while switching Graphics API to DX11.
• PugetBench for Davinci Resolve Studio may experience an intermittent application crash while running the benchmark. Recommendation is to change the timeout slider to 1500 seconds or higher, to wait for each test to complete, in PugetBench benchmark settings.

Intel Core Ultra Series 1 with built-in Intel Arc GPUs:

• World of Warcraft: Dragonflight may experience an application crash while switching Graphics API to DX11.

Intel Core Ultra Series 2 with built-in Intel Arc GPUs:

• Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Beta (DX12) may exhibit corruption on certain light sources during gameplay.
• World of Warcraft: Dragonflight may experience an application crash while switching Graphics API to DX11.
• Topaz Video AI may experience visual artifacts when using certain AI models.

Intel 32.0.101.8135 non-WHQL supports 64-bit Windows 10 and 11 PCs with the following Intel processors and graphics cards:
