Detailed Description

Note: Installing this Intel generic graphics driver will overwrite your computer manufacturer (OEM) customized driver.

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

Highlights

  • This BETA driver adds support for the Vulkan*3 extension VK_EXT_pipeline_creation_cache_control - This Khronos* extension adds flags to Vk*PipelineCreateInfo and VkPipelineCacheCreateInfo structures with the goal of providing information about potentially expensive hazards within the client driver during pipeline creation to the application before carrying them out rather than after.

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.
  • Minor graphics anomalies may be observed in Tom Clancy’s The Division 2* (DX12), Rise of the Tomb Raider* (DX12).
