The first time you run the Arc GPU Graphics Software installer, it remembers whether you opted for or against CIP (whether you accepted or declined the data collection agreement) by leaving a Windows Registry key located in "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Intel\SUR\ICIP".

You can accept this agreement, which will install and enable CIP or you can even choose to decline this agreement, which will cause installation to proceed without telemetry. This one clearly spells out the scope of data-collection of CIP, and what it does not collect. Declining this will cause the installer to close, but accepting it will take you to the next screen, where you're presented with an agreement dedicated to data collection.

The first one of course is a standard Software License Agreement. When you run the installer the very first time, you are presented with two agreements to accept. We have since significantly changed our article as Intel clarified many of our questions and demystified CIF, what its scope of data-collection is, and how it makes its way to your machine with Intel's driver software.

An older version of this article stated that the data-collection component, dubbed Computing Improvement Program (CIP), would install onto unsuspecting users' machines in the "typical" installation, disregarding their prior choices with the component.

For those that did not opt for data-collection, the "typical" installation option doesn't sneak the component in, but presents it as an unchecked optional item in the "Customize" screen. For those with the data-collection already opted in, the installer leaves the data-collection component untouched in the "typical" installation option, and presents it as an optional action item in the "Customize" installation option. The updated installer of Intel Arc GPU Graphics Drivers lets users decide if they want the company to collect anonymous usage data from them. A part of keeping the drivers up-to-date and understanding the user-base to improve future generations of GPUs, involves data-collection from the existing users. Intel may be the newest on the block with discrete gaming GPUs, with its Arc A-series competing in the mid-range, but the company has a vast software engineering muscle that ensures a constant stream of driver updates for these GPUs regardless of their smaller market share compared to entrenched players NVIDIA and AMD.

Graphics cards are the most dynamic hardware components of the modern PC, in need of constant driver updates to keep them optimized for the latest games.
