Since several months HD 530 is recognized as a DX 11.1 GPU when there is a dedicated Nvidia (GTX 970) active as a secondary graphics adapter in my system, I have to disable my dedicated GPU in order to get DX12 on my HD 530. Is Intel aware of this issue?

Notebook Asus x750jb intel Graphics 4600

While loading Windows 10 the system does not immediately finds driver, 3 minutes loaded logo Windows when the driver finds switched backlight, loaded 2 minutes and only then run system.

So all drivers intel graphics for Windows 10 work so.

Drivers who downloaded windows update constantly crash error (display driver Intel HD Graphics Driver foe Windows 10 stopped respondin and has succesfully recovered )

I tried to play 2 games and on both got BSOD with this driver ...

Errors were connected to dxgmms1.sys, one gave driver_irql_not_less_or_equal also and the other SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION or something like that.

Going back to 15.40.14.4352 and no more BSOD.

I think all drivers have some memory bug (because Internet Explorer with graphic hardware acceleration crashes random , and more often when scrolling fast thru pictures or videos in facebook ), but in the last beta instead of fixing it, the modifications in driver, made it more obvious.

I don't know why on windows 10 it shows that the dx hardware is 12 and dx software is 12 and on windows 8.1 dx hardware is 11.1 and software 11.2. It should be hardware also 11.2 or 11.3 in my opinion, because dx12 has all the features of dx11.2 or 11.3.

It seems that I found a big problem.

On mainboards with Asmedia sata controller, if you install the driver from asmedia any version, there is something wrong. I noticed that it conflicts with the last graphic beta driver. and also creates a system problem because if u try to run HWinfo 64 bit version the system simply freezes and after a while gives a BSOD with message CRITICAL_SERVICE_FAILED.

So for everyone that has asmedia sata controller, just uninstall that driver and run only with windows standard AHCI driver. I wonder if there isn't a conflict with that one too.

So on all intel drivers please check if they have memory or other conflicts with other drivers from other manufacturers, because I think this is the problem for most systems ...

I'm trying this driver on a 2015 MBP 13" with iris 6100 graphics to run Fallout 4 but still seeing the crash on game launch. Is there anything in particular I'd need to tweak in order to make this work or any additional information I can provide? Thanks!

Huh, the game launched for you and ran? What's your rig like, might be something funny with the MBP (love Apple but they do some funny things sometimes...)

Installed for my minipc i7-6700 with Win10 x64.

HD530 DXVA still doesn't work for both PowerDVD 15 and MPC.

However, video playback with quicksync enabled is working properly in MPC but audio is buggy.

What error message you get ? You may have another problem that stops your game from running.

It works for 4k hevc 8bit hardware decode but 10bit decode is not working properly. Video playback finally looks good for my setup for i7-6700 with z170 connected to 43" 4k monitor. Hope Intel will look into 10bit hevc decode and release a bug fix soon.

ivanu_intel thank you for your reply. I attempted to work with Apple first but Bethesda does not officially support Intel GPUs under Fallout 4 so Apple said that it was unsupported and would not help. It certainly appears that Intel is attempting to support the game with their drivers, with or without Bethesda, so I figured I'd chime in and try to help support the development with my experience. Thanks

Found new bug in GTA 5 with the new driver. When it rains the textures in lakes on ground are pixelated ...

I don't know what the problem is but if I at+tab and go to windows and then at+tab and go back in game the bug disappears.

I notice a problem with this 4380 driver and some previous versions such as 4352 - sorry I don't know which version the problem started in. I am curious whether anyone else encounters such problem.

Viewing series of pictures in a maximized Windows Photo Gallery (2012 Build 16.4.3528.331) using Next (right arrow) often displays corrupted image.

First image always displays properly, later images are corrupt near the bottom and/or top most of the time.

Intel NUC5i5RYH (HD Graphics 6000), Asus 1920x1200, 8GB RAM, DP.

Latest Win10Pro 64-bit

Repro is to have Windows Photo Gallery installed on Win10 64-bit, maximize the window and use it to display the first of multiple images in some folder by either double-clicking thumbnail in the program or in File Explorer right click on a photo and Open With - Photo Gallery, make sure the window is maximized then press right arrow (or click the >| icon) and watch the image corrupt. Keep clicking to see problem continue. Going backwards (left-arrow) usually shows proper image (to be clear, the corruption is just in the displayed image, not in the file itself). Displaying same pictures with Photo Gallery's window less than maximized or with another tool such as Windows Photo Viewer works fine (no corruption). Windows Photo Gallery can be downloaded from http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/photo-gallery Photo Gallery - Microsoft Windows
