NOTES

  • Take your system lighting to the next level with Intel® Arc™ RGB Controller. Intel® Arc™ RGB Controller was custom designed to allow users to harness 90 individually addressable LEDs on Intel® Arc™ A770  Graphics Limited Edition cards. Intel® Arc™ RGB Controller is available for download here .
    • Supported on Intel® Arc™ A770 Graphics Limited Edition on Windows®10 and Windows®11.
    • Intel® and Cooler Master* collaborated on the creation of this software.
    • For more information on how to enable the RGB lighting for your Intel® Arc™ A770 Graphics Limited Edition card, see the Intel® Arc™ A-Series Graphics – Desktop Quick Start Guide .
  • Built-in Intel® Arc™ GPUs in select Intel® Core™ Ultra Processors (series 1 and 2) will support increased graphics memory allocations of up to 57% in Windows 10 and Windows* 11 host systems. For example, a 16GB host system can have up to 9.12GB (16x0.57=9.12) working memory dynamically allocated to the Built-In Intel® Arc™ GPU. Previous default memory allocation was up to 50%.
