14 DAY TRIAL // Intel has announced the availability of the new graphics driver, namely version 27.20.100.9168, which adds support for Intel Iris Xe Max Graphics (DG1) and resolves corruptions seen in Atelier Ryza 2: Lost Legends & the Secret Fairy, as well as Nioh 2.
Moreover, the current release also fixes crash events encountered upon launching Cyberpunk 2077 (DX12), and removes minor graphics corruptions observed in Shadow of the Tomb Raider (DX12) and Star Wars Battlefront 2 (DX12)
In addition to that, Intel’s 9168 build corrects 4K DP monitor flickering (in certain situations), and resolves other anomalies seen in Atelier Ryza 2: Lost Legends & the Secret Fairy, Nioh 2, Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout, Shadow of the Tomb Raider (DX12) (with Tessellation ON), as well as a few other games
When it comes to known issues, the current graphics update might encounter problems when playing Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Baldur’s Gate 3, Wolfenstein: Youngblood, Gears of War Ultimate Edition, Far Cry: New Dawn, Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint, MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries, and other titles as highlighted in the Release Notes below.
In terms of compatibility, the downloadable archive is suitable only for the 64-bit architecture of Microsoft’s Windows 10 operating system. Do not try installing this update on other OSes even if it might seem to work at first, as this can lead to various malfunctions.
Therefore, if you want to install build 9168, make sure this release supports your system configuration, save and run the available setup executable, and follow all instructions displayed on the screen for a complete upgrade.
Moreover, once finished, perform a system reboot to allow all changes to take effect properly. If this task isn’t requested automatically, it would be a good idea to carry it out manually.
That said, download Intel Graphics Driver 27.20.100.9168, apply it to your system, and check back with us as often as possible to stay up to speed with the latest releases.
