Intel Arc became better in old games

Not so long ago, Intel started producing graphics cards under its own brand Arc.

However, Intel continues to work on software enhancements for its video chips.

DirectX 9 is an old graphics API that was used in Windows.

But over time, it was discontinued and replaced by newer and better graphics programs.

However, some games still use DirectX 9, such as Counter-Strike: Global Offense and Team Fortress 2.

You should understand that full hardware support for DirectX 9 on Intel Arc is still not available.

However, Intels software drivers should translate old API calls into modern code.

Whats interesting is that Intels drivers contain DXVK code.

This layer translates Direct3D to Vulkan, created mainly for Valves Proton compatibility layer.

In addition, Intels blog also said: Were not going to stop there.

We still have work to do!
