Hi all, During an update scan Intel offered to Install the graphics tool Intel ARC Control. I installed it but doubt that I need it on my below laptop system... Model: HP Pavilion x360 14-ek0975nd Operating System: Windows 11 Home 64-bit CPU: 12th Gen Intel Core i7-1255U RAM: 16096 MBytes Motherboard: HP 8A34 (U3E1) Resolution: 1280x720 pixels@60Hz GPU: Intel Iris Xe Graphics (HP) , Driver 31.0.101.4091 DirectX Version: DirectX 12 Storage: 1TB SSD Audio: B&O , Realtek High Definition Audio Train Simulator: Version V74.8a What is your opinion, does ARC Control improve things for Train Simulator Classic ?
This is used only on your native graphics (integrated in your CPU). If you are using a discrete graphics card it is of no use.
Thanks RWA. What is a discrete graphics car ? I am using the one that is listed, the Intel Iris Xe Graphics (HP). So will it actually be an improvement or can I better remove it ? Only thing I like about it that it allows me to use BETA drivers.
A discrete graphics carD is a separate Graphics Card - As you have a Laptop (which you did not mention) I doubt you would have a Graphics Card
Thanks Peter. Correct, as listed in the specs in my first post I am using my Intel Iris Xe Graphics (HP) , 14" laptops with a real gaming card, and a touch screen so I can use it like a tablet too, are just about non existant. So will it actually be an improvement to the gaming experience or can I better remove it ? Any idea ?
As you do not have a discrete GPU it wouldn't hurt to try, you could always uninstall it at some point. Remember laptops are not supported and especially if not a gaming laptop with a discrete GPU.
Well, take a look at my new specs...... I9 TSC2023 Killer 14inch laptop.... ASUS Laptop Zenbook Pro 14 - Intel Core i9 13900H - 32 GB RAM - 1 TB SSD - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 GPU - Win11 64 Home - 14.5" Screen @ 2880 x 1800 - TSC2023 1366 x 768 graphics @ HIGHEST and RWE Pro at standard , having a great time running tough American diesels!
