Intel graphics driver adds support for automatic game optimization

Intel has updated its graphics drivers with a beta "Automatic Game Settings" feature that promises to automatically select the best game settings. At the moment, the feature supports Intel Graphics on 6th Gen Core CPUs or higher, including those with integrated AMD Radeon RX Vega graphics. You need Intel Graphics Driver for Windows version 15.68.3.4944 or newer, and be aware that the feature only works with a limited number of games. Looks like Intel took a page from NVIDIA's book here, the GPU giant introduced a similar feature years ago.

You find the new "gaming" option when you open the Intel Graphics Settings after installation of the latest driver. You can do so with a right-click on the desktop and the selection of Intel Graphics Settings from the context menu.

You receive a prompt the first time you click on "gaming". Intel explains that the feature will "access the game configuration file and make modifications to the original game settings" when you enable the functionality.

The list of support games includes classics as well as some of the latest smash hits. To name a few: Dota 2, Destiny 2, Dark Souls III, Overwatch, World of Tanks, or League of Legends, Call of Duty WWII, Grand Theft Auto V.
