Product Information

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. Stability improvements with Desktop Window Manager (DWM) on 6th generation Intel Core Processors through 10th generation Intel Core Processors.

Processors that support 64-bit computing on Intel® architecture require an Intel 64 architecture-enabled BIOS. To determine if the driver has been loaded correctly, refer to the Verifying Installation of the Software section below. Intel processor numbers are not a measure of performance. Processor numbers differentiate features within each processor family, not across different processor families.
