Intel has released a new Arc Graphics driver version 32.0.101.8629 WHQL, and this update focuses entirely on adding gaming support for the Arc Pro B70 and Arc Pro B65 GPUs, which both use the Battlemage B-series silicon, so users can now run these workstation-class cards through Intel’s standard gaming driver without relying on the Pro driver stack.
This marks the first time Intel has officially included Arc Pro B70 and B65 in its regular gaming driver branch, even though these GPUs already received support in the Q1 2026 workstation driver release, and now Intel brings them into the same package that gamers use for regular updates and compatibility.
At the same time, Intel never restricted Arc Pro GPUs from using gaming drivers, so users already had flexibility, but this update creates a clear and official path for gaming workloads on these higher-end cards, especially those based on the BMG-G31 architecture.
Interestingly, the release does not include any bug fixes or game-specific optimizations, which shows that Intel built this update mainly to expand hardware support rather than improve performance or stability.
