MSI H81M-P32 Intel Graphics Driver 10.18.10.3277

Fixes:

- There was a problem with FMD synchronization. Code was updated to maintain proper FMD sync resolving the corrupted playback.
- The initialization for ACE support was modified to resolve the issue.
- Fixed the PWM enabling sequence to make sure the duty cycle is written after the PWM is enabled, which resolves the issue.
- Added support for broken page indexing that were missing from the driver.
- By reducing unnecessary registry access, the hang was resolved.
- Changed the logic for all static and global variables when running multiple threads, resolving this issue.
- Previous optimization changes did not properly factor in the mirroring. New logic added to ensure the mirror data is used correctly to resolve the corruption.
- A synchronization issue was found between the VEBOX and Render engines. A fix was put in place resolving this issue.
- An incorrect native resolution was reported. The logic detecting an EDID-less panel was changed, resolving the GOP test failure.
- The driver decoupled the LPSP and Audio functions. This prevents code to enable/disable audio when resuming, resolving the hang.
- By changing the sequencing for IPS support, the corruption no longer occurs for the DirectX samples.

About Graphics Drivers:

While installing the graphics driver allows the system to properly recognize the chipset and the card manufacturer, updating the video driver can bring about various changes.

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.

When it comes to applying this release, the installation steps should be a breeze, as each manufacturer tries to make them as easy as possible so that each user can update the GPU on their own and with minimum risks (however, check to see if this download supports your graphics chipset).

Therefore, get the package (extract it if necessary), run the setup, follow the on-screen instructions for a complete and successful installation, and make sure you reboot the system so that the changes take effect.

That being said, download the driver, apply it on your system, and enjoy your newly updated graphics card. Moreover, check with our website as often as possible in order to stay up to speed with the latest releases.
