The generic Intel driver provides users with the latest and greatest feature enhancements and bug fixes that computer manufacturers (OEMs) might not have customized yet. OEM drivers are handpicked and include customized features and solutions to platform-specific needs. 

Installing this Intel generic graphics driver will overwrite your handpicked OEM graphics driver. Users can check for matching OEM driver versions at OEM websites.

Any graphics issues found using Intel generic graphics drivers should be homepage. Corporate customers should always use OEM drivers and report all issues through the vendor they purchased the platforms and support through.

Gaming Highlights:

Intel Game On Driver support on Intel Arc B-series, A-series Graphics GPUs and Intel Core Ultra with built-in Intel Arc GPUs for:
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Kingdom Come: Deliverance II
- Sid Meier’s Civilization VII

Game performance improvements on Intel Arc B-series Graphics GPUs versus Intel 32.0.101.6259 software driver for:
- F1 24 (DX12): Up to 15.1% average FPS uplift at 1080p with High settings
- F1 24 (DX12): Up to 12.1% average FPS uplift at 1440p with High settings

Known Issues:

Intel Arc B-Series Graphics Products:
- F1 24 (DX12) with XeSS FG may exhibit certain corruptions and applications crashes. Application may crash when dynamically changing XeSS FG settings during gameplay. Recommendation is to toggle XeSS FG settings in the game menu before starting a race. “Alt + Enter” shortcut may change the display mode to fullscreen exclusive, which is not supported in XeSS 2 and may cause the game to crash.
- MLPerf may exhibit intermittent errors when running on multi-GPU system configurations. It is recommended to disable integrated GPU as a workaround.
- Topaz Labs Photo AI may exhibit corruptions with certain image enhancement operations.
- Magix Vegas Pro may exhibit corruptions when using style transfer feature.
- Dassault Systèmes CATIA may experience an application crash when using HQAO option.
- Cyberlink Power Director may experience tearing and lag in the preview window and exported video.
- Adobe Lightroom Classic may experience lower than expected performance. Workaround is to set recommended preferences in the application. Under Edit, Preferences, Performance options, choose Graphics Processor as “Custom”. Select “Use GPU for Display”, “Use GPU for Image Processing” and “Use GPU for Export” options. 

Intel Graphics Software Fixed Issues:

- Intel Graphics Software may incorrectly report number of Xe Cores for certain Intel Arc B-Series Graphics Products.

Intel Graphics Software Known Issues:

- Intel Graphics Software may experience a very intermittent application crash when navigating pages or dialogue boxes due to an underlying framework issue. A fix will be made available in IGS once WinAppSDK 1.7 is available for upgrade. The application can be relaunched without issue as a workaround.
- When using the settings, preferences, reset all settings option in Windows 10 the application may experience an intermittent crash. Settings can be reset from individual pages without issue.
- Intel Graphics Software may sometimes experience a single application crash on the first re-arrange of metrics within the select metrics window. Subsequent usage will not be affected by this crash again. 
- FPS Limiter may not limit FPS with VSync ON and Low Latency Mode enabled.
- Profile controls don’t always supersede global controls.
- Display scaling at non-native panel resolutions might result in unintended scaling.
- Intel Graphics Software may incorrectly report number of Xe Cores for certain Intel Arc B-Series Graphics Products.

Intel Graphics Software Performance Tuning (BETA):
- Intel Graphics Software Performance Tuning is currently in Beta. As such, performance and features may behave unexpectedly. Intel will continue to refine the Performance Tuning software in future releases. In multi-GPU scenarios with two performance tuning capable devices, the performance tuning page may attempt to apply changes to one or more devices at once rather than individually based on the GPU selector.

NOTES:
- Take your system lighting to the next level with Intel Arc RGB Controller. Intel Arc RGB Controller was custom designed to allow users to harness 90 individually addressable LEDs on Intel Arc A770 Graphics Limited Edition cards. Supported on Intel Arc A770 Graphics Limited Edition on Windows 10 and Windows 11. Intel and Cooler Master collaborated on the creation of this software.
- Built-in Intel Arc GPUs in select Intel Core Ultra Processors (series 1 and 2) will support increased graphics memory allocations of up to 57% in Windows 10 and Windows 11 host systems. For example, a 16GB host system can have up to 9.12GB (16x0.57=9.12) working memory dynamically allocated to the Built-In Intel Arc GPU. Previous default memory allocation was up to 50%.

About Graphics Drivers:

While installing the graphics driver allows the system to properly recognize the chipset and the card manufacturer, updating the video driver can bring about various changes.

It can improve the overall graphics experience and performance in either games or various engineering software applications, include support for newly developed technologies, add compatibility with newer GPU chipsets, or resolve different problems that might have been encountered.

When it comes to applying this release, the installation steps should be a breeze, as each manufacturer tries to make them as easy as possible so that each user can update the GPU on their own and with minimum risks (however, check to see if this download supports your graphics chipset).

Therefore, get the package (extract it if necessary), run the setup, follow the on-screen instructions for a complete and successful installation, and make sure you reboot the system so that the changes take effect.

That being said, download the driver, apply it on your system, and enjoy your newly updated graphics card. Moreover, check with our website as often as possible in order to stay up to speed with the latest releases.
