Intel Graphics Driver 30.0.101.1960 Released (Vulkan 1.3.211)

 
Intel has released a new graphics driver for its GPUs from Intel 6th to latest 12th Gen (Alder Lake) and on Windows 10 and Windows 11.

This new driver (version 30.0.101.1960) brings the following changes:

HIGHLIGHTS:
– Launch driver for 12th Generation Intel Core Processors with Intel UHD Graphics (Codename Alder Lake-HX).
– Intel Game On Driver support for Evil Dead: The Game and Dolmen* on Intel 11th Generation with Xe
Graphics and newer.

ISSUES FIXED:
– Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War (DX12) may experience an application crash or pop-up error message at launch.
– Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition (DX12) may experience minor graphical corruption in game menus or during gameplay when game settings are set to low quality.
– Elden Ring (DX12) may experience green or red texture flashing corruption during fighting while in game.
– [11th and 12th Generation Intel Core Processors] Genshin Impact (DX11) may experience texture flickering or corruption on character models.
– [11th and 12th Generation Intel Core Processors] FIFA 21 may intermittently experience a TDR or application crash when resizing the game window.
– [12th Generation Intel Core Processors]: FIFA 22 may experience a TDR or application crash when a match is started.
– A TDR may occur while running Doom Eternal (Vulkan) with Steam Overlay enabled.
– Tom Clancy’s: Rainbow Six Siege may experience an application crash or TDR in game or benchmark modes when game settings are set at high, very high or ultra.
– Doom Eternal (Vulkan) may fail to enable HDR correctly when HDR is enabled via in-game settings and in Windows.
– Serious Sam 4 may exhibit graphical corruption or artifacts around some objects in game.
– Deus Ex: Mankind Divided shadows may exhibit graphical corruption.
– [Intel Iris Xe Discrete graphics] Red Dead Redemption 2 may experience an application crash or TDR when changing game or resolution settings.
– [11th and 12th Generation Intel Core Processors] Running DirectX 11 games in fullscreen with the Windows “Fullscreen Optimization” option disabled, may result in a black screen when modifying resolution in games.
– [11th and 12th Generation Intel Core Processors] Graphical corruption may be seen in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War.

OpenGL support

v30.0.101.1660

This driver exposes OpenGL 4.6 with 267 OpenGL extensions for an UHD Graphics 770. Same support than this old driver (v101.1404).

- GL_VENDOR: Intel
- GL_RENDERER: Intel(R) UHD Graphics 770
- GL_VERSION: 4.6.0 - Build 30.0.101.1960
- GL_SHADING_LANGUAGE_VERSION: 4.60 - Build 30.0.101.1960

Vulkan support

v30.0.101.1960

This driver exposes Vulkan 1.3.211 and adds one new extension compared tp v101.1660:

– VK_EXT_color_write_enable

The maxBoundDescriptorSets has been updated tp 32 (8 in previous driver).
