A new graphics driver has been published by Intel for its GPUs (Intel 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th Gen processors) on Windows 10. This new driver (version 27.20.100.8280) comes with the following changes:
GAMING HIGHLIGHTS
Gear up to experience the pulse-pounding action of Minecraft Dungeons, explore Western Skyrim and engage in a thrilling new adventure in The Elder Scrolls Online – Greymoor, battle until you are the last one standing in Shadow Arena, become a fearsome shark in Maneater, get ready for a legendary multiplayer experience on Halo 2: Anniversary, and fight hordes of aliens by yourself or with friends across destructible environments in Deep Rock Galactic on Intel Iris Plus graphics or better.Enjoy remastered graphics, music, cinematics and more in Command & Conquer Remastered Collection, make bold, strategic plays and leverage hypernatural powers to emerge victorious in Valorant* and experience a blend of action and strategy in a sci-fi setting in Disintegration* on Intel® UHD Graphics or better.
ISSUES FIXED:
– Intermittent hang may be seen when playing Halo 2: Anniversary Multiplayer, Star Control: Origins on 10th Generation Intel Core processors with Intel Iris Plus graphics.
– Intermittent crashes may be seen in BeamNG.drive, Bright Memory (DX12), Doom Eternal (Vulkan) on 6th Generation Intel Core processors and higher.
– Screen may flicker for 1 to 3 seconds when resizing the Netflix video playback in Microsoft Edge browser on 10th Generation Intel Core processors with Intel UHD graphics.
