Arc Power review
A free Windows utility for deep Intel Arc tuning, monitoring, profiles, and overlays.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Arc Power is a free, open-source Windows desktop utility for tuning and monitoring Intel Arc graphics cards. It is aimed at Arc Alchemist and Battlemage users who want more control over clocks, voltage offsets, power and temperature limits, fan behavior, graphics settings, and in-game monitoring. Named profiles can apply at startup, while multi-GPU selection supports systems with multiple Intel Arc adapters. AMD and NVIDIA adapters may remain visible for telemetry when supported libraries are available, but they are not the target for tuning controls.
The feature set is broad for a GPU tuning utility. Arc Power provides GPU overclocking and clock-offset controls, negative voltage offsets for Alchemist GPUs, power and temperature limits, and automatic, fixed, or curve-based fan control. Live telemetry and monitoring graphs help present tuning data, while the click-through overlay can display information during gameplay. Graphics settings include XeSS frame generation and frame limits, and reversible Windows graphics tweaks add system-level controls. Profiles make it practical to save named configurations rather than adjust every setting from scratch.
Its ecosystem fit is strongest for Windows users who already work with RTSS, Libre Hardware Monitor, or OBS, since those integrations extend monitoring and capture workflows. The software is distributed through portable and installed Windows builds, but the latest release notes state that the installer is currently broken and recommend the portable build. Arc Power suits Intel Arc owners who want a focused, configurable tuning tool without a purchase price. Users seeking AMD or NVIDIA overclocking, or a non-Windows platform, should choose an alternative.
Arc Power pros and cons
- Where it wins
- Overclocking, undervolting, power limits, and fan curves
- Profiles, telemetry graphs, overlays, and graphics settings
- Free, open-source Windows builds with RTSS, LHM, and OBS integration
- Where it doesn't
- Intel Arc is required for tuning controls
- AMD and NVIDIA support is limited to telemetry
- The latest release notes say the installer is currently broken
