It's at this part of a GPU review where I usually show a performance summary, giving the average frame rate from across all 12 games tested so we can compare the card in question against the competition. However, I won’t be doing that for Intel Arc just yet.

For one, two of the twelve games that I wanted to test are visually broken, so there's that… But more fundamentally, I just don’t think you can really ‘boil down' the experience from using Arc into a single chart. I personally would be worried that someone could view such a chart and take the data at face value, which really wouldn't tell the whole picture and could be misleading. I’ve found that the experience of using Arc can vary massively from game to game, so I didn’t want to try and distil the performance in a way that doesn’t really do it justice.
