Installing this Intel generic graphics driver will overwrite your computer manufacturer (OEM) customized driver. OEM drivers are handpicked and include customized features and solutions to platform-specific issues. 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.

Note: This driver only supports Intel Arc Alchemist, 13th Gen Core Raptor Lake GPUs and 12th Gen Core Alder Lake GPUs

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.

  • Skull and Bones (DX12) may experience an application crash while launching gameplay.
  • 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.
  • Certain capture cards may exhibit visual artifacts in some scenarios.
  • 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 Arc A-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 re-launched 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 detects plug and play events from Windows and reconfigures the user interface to make sure users have the latest available hardware information listed. On some system configurations the frequency of windows reconfiguration is higher than expected and may take longer after sleep. IGS optimizations will be made available soon that help reduce the number of reconfigurations that may occur.
  • 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 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.
