The launch of the new Panther Lake It also meant the availability of drivers compatible with the new Intel Arc B390 and B370 graphics. With this version also came XeSS 3.0which added the multiple frame generationalthough initially it was only compatible with iGPU of these Panther Lake. Intel had promised to extend this compatibility to other GPUs in the Intel Arc range soon, and this has been the case with the launch of the new version of the drivers 32.0.101.8509 WHQL.
