This is the best summary I could come up with:
It offers impressive boosts to frame rates in games that support it, like Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege and Metro Exodus.
“Not all games benefit from APO,” explained Intel VP Roger Chandler in a press briefing ahead of the 14th Gen launch.
I tested Rainbow Six Siege with the very high preset at 1080p on a Core i9-14900K system paired with an RTX 4090 and saw frame rates shift from 615fps to 688fps — a nearly 12 percent increase.
Intel’s APO is only available in the Microsoft Store, and it will error out and fail to install if you don’t have the drivers present.
Once you’ve got the drivers installed and the BIOS option enabled, you can then download the APO app from the Microsoft Store.
Hopefully, there’s an easier way to enable this feature in the future and more games are supported as Intel continues to test and add them to the list.
