Intel has made available a new version of its Iris and HD Graphics driver, namely 20.19.15.4404 beta, which adds support for Vulkan 1.0 API on 6th Generation Core CPUs and related processors, and also fixes some Windows 10 issues.

Specifically speaking, the present release resolves possible Graphics corruptions that may occur while playing VP8 clips, as well as the random black rectangle artifacts spotted in Star Wars Battlefront.

In addition to that, the green lines with Cyberlink PowerDVD VC1 Playback won’t be visible anymore while BSODs, crashes, and hangs across a number of applications will no longer be encountered.

When it comes to supported OSes, the present version is suitable for both 32- and 64-bit variants of Microsoft’s Windows 7, 8.1, and 10 platforms. Moreover, your configuration must also contain a valid CPU model, as highlighted on the description page.

As for installation, simply save and unzip the appropriate package for your computer, locate and run the available setup file, and follow all onscreen instructions for a complete and successful upgrade.

Last but not least, make sure to perform a system reboot to allow all fixes and improvements to take effect properly. If this isn’t requested automatically, it would be a good idea to manually restart your computer.

That said, download Intel Iris/HD Graphics Driver 20.19.15.4404 Beta, apply it on your system, and enjoy these new changes. Also, constantly check our website to stay “updated one minute ago.”
