The generic Intel driver provides users the latest and greatest feature enhancements and bug fixes that OEMs may not have customized yet to address platform-specific needs. Users can check for matching OEM versions at OEM websites.*²

KEY ISSUES FIXED:

• Intermittent crash or hang seen in Red Dead Redemption 2* (Vulkan), Cities Skylines, FIFA20 (when switching between windowed and full screen) on 10th Generation Intel Core processors with Intel Iris Plus graphics.
