Although we do not yet have a release date, Intel in their new drivers optimized for CS:GO 2. The game does not have a release date, we only know that it will be released this summer. A date that would be close, according to this movement.
The new Counter-Strike: Global Offensive 2 It has caused an earthquake in the video game industry. The current installment, which is free, exceeds one million simultaneous players every day.
We know little about the new installment, beyond that it will integrate the Source 2 graphics engine. We will see better visual effects on grenades and improved and optimized maps. We also know that the current weapon and character skins will be maintained in the next installment.
And so far we know. We can almost affirm that we will see some new unpublished map in this new installment. It is possible that most of the current game modes will be maintained and it is not ruled out to see new weapons.
Does Intel set a date for CS:GO 2?
The latest drivers for Intel ARC graphics cards bring optimizations and support for various games. include support for Alines: Dark Descent and Forever Skies. Also, add Optimizations for Destiny 2, F1 23, and Counter-Strike 2.
Specifically, you get the following performance improvements:
- Destiny 2 (DX11)
- Up to 11% in 1080p resolution with the highest graphics
- F1 23 (DX12)
- Up to 33% in 1080p resolution with the highest graphics and Ray Tracing disabled
- Up to 18% at 1080p resolution at highest graphics with Ray Tracing enabled
- Up to 27% in 1440p resolution with high graphics
- CS:GO 2 (DX11)
- Up to 10% in 1080p resolution with very high graphics settings
- Up to 8% in 1440p resolution with high graphics
Perhaps the most interesting thing about these controllers is that they optimize for different games. This is something increasingly rare to see in NVIDIA and AMD drivers. Both companies release the updates that add support for new games and little else.
It’s unfortunate how the quality of drivers (in general) has fallen so much in recent years. No optimizations and hardly any bug fixes. It only interests us that we spend absurd money to compare new graphics cards.
Now Intel has a long way to go, it can optimize its drivers a lot. What we will have to see is in a few years if they continue with this current policy. It will be then when we can judge the company, if it follows the market trend or really, they think about the players.
Fixed and Known Issues
Intel has also corrected a pair of problems and also a set of known issues. Let’s start with the fixes:
- Solved the flickering and/or performance issues in destiny 2
- corrected the blank screen or errors in applications with content based on WebView2
Let’s go now with the known problems, where the following stand out:
- may appear crashes in F1 23 with presets XeSS con the cards Intel ARC graphics
- Crash when loading scenarios in Total War: Warhammer III (DX11) in the Intel Core processors
- Corruption in various light sourceslike fire, in Warzone 2.0 (DX12) on Intel Core processors
- Blocking during the starting Conqueror’s Blade (DX12) on Intel Core processors
- Instability when we play in A Plague Tale: Requiem (DX12) on Intel Core processors
