Intel's latest place of Alder Lake processors launched earlier this month to many accolades. We touted the Intel Core i5 12600k as one the topper CPUs for gaming in all of 2021, and the i9 12900K is a hungry, yet impressive chip as well. Intel's success with Alder Lake has even lead to discounts on competitive cards like the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X.

Unfortunately, these chips do as wel consume their downsides, and one of the big ones is a compatibility issue with DRM. The loan-blend architecture used in Alder Lake can trigger some DRM to ease off as two unlike systems running the game, as opposed to a single silicon chip. A whole bunch of older games were forced, but besides around relatively newer titles like Assassin's Creed Valhalla.

The payof is for the most part with Denuvo DRM, and while the society had released a fix even before the Alder Lake launch, it is ultimately adequate the developers to implement it in their games.

And then, IT's good to see companies ilk Gigabyte (via Tom's Hardware) also working around the trouble. Those extra e-cores can thankfully personify disabled going into most motherboards BIOS, which is dependable to have a go at it but isn't exactly user affable for many.

Owners of Gigabyte Z690 motherboards running the latest firmware tail end now simply download a DRM fix tool from Gigabytes website. This is a nice degraded profile little app that should be plug and play, and lets you parking lot and unpark the e-cores from your standard desktop.

This should help convince the DRM that it's just one CPU doing all that work. Since all of the games featured in this list predate Alder Lake architecture, it's outside you're going away to be missing too untold by victimization this tool.
