If you are uncertain of which Intel processor is in your computer, Intel recommends using the or Intel Driver & Support
Assistant to identify your Intel processor.

Be sure to check out gameplay.intel.com, where you’ll find recommended in-game settings for your Intel Graphics
system for many more of your favorite games.
Note:
1. Intel Labs conducts independent testing of supported titles on Intel platforms to ensure playability. Please refer to
publisher system requirements to ensure compatibility with your system.
2. Are you still experiencing an error preventing the driver update? Look here for why and a solution. Graphics Driver
Smart Installer Enhancement allows end-users to upgrade systems with OEM DCH drivers to newer Intel generic
DCH drivers. OEM customizations are preserved during this upgrade process, in accordance with Microsoft* DCH
driver design principles (refer to Microsoft documentation, “Extension INF Publishing Whitepaper” to learn more).
The installer will continue to restrict OEM non-DCH to Intel Generic non-DCH upgrades as well as OEM non-DCH to
Intel Generic DCH driver upgrades. End-users will continue to be referred to OEM websites.
WARNING: Installing this Intel generic graphics driver will overwrite your Computer Manufacturer (OEM)
customized driver. OEM drivers are handpicked, customized, and validated to resolve platform-specific issues,
enable features and enhancements, and improve system stability. The generic driver’s intention is to temporarily
test new features, game enhancements, or check if an issue is resolved. Once testing is complete Intel advises
reinstalling the OEM driver until they validate it and release their own version.
Any graphics issues found using Intel generic graphics drivers should be reported directly to Intel. Corporate
customers should always use OEM drivers and report all issues through the vendor they purchased the platforms
and support through.
3. Product is conformant with the Vulkan* 1.3 specification. Vulkan* and the Vulkan* logo are registered trademarks
of the Khronos Group Inc*.
4. In the Intel Graphics Command Center (System > Driver), the ‘Microsoft DirectX* version refers to the operating
system’s DirectX version. The DirectX 12 API is supported but some optional features may not be available.
Applications using the DirectX 12 API should query for feature support before using specific hardware features.
Please note that DirectX12 is only supported on Windows 10 and DirectX11.3 support is also available on
supported Microsoft* operating systems.
5. Intel® oneAPI Level Zero version is supported on 6th generation Intel® Core™ processors and above. Note that Intel®
Atom processors are not supported.
