Intel has released a new graphics driver for its GPUs from Intel 6th to latest 12th Gen (Alder Lake) on Windows 10 and Windows 11.
This new driver (version 30.0.101.1404) brings the following changes:
HIGHLIGHTS:
– Support enabled for Cross-Adapter resource Scan-Out (CASO) to optimize processing, bandwidth, and latency for hybrid graphics Windows 11 systems on 11th Generation Intel Core Processors with Intel Iris Xe graphics.ISSUES FIXES:
– Minor graphic anomalies seen in Far Cry New Dawn (DX11), Atlas (DX11) on 11th Generation Intel Core Processors with Intel Iris Xe graphics.
– Intermittent crash or hang seen in Resident Evil 4 on 11th Generation Intel® Core™ Processors with Intel Iris Xe graphics.
– Benchmark ignores resolution settings in Fullscreen mode in Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege (Vulkan) on Intel Iris Xe Discrete graphics.
– Blank screen observed on 8k TV Monitor after setting to clone mode with 4k display on 12th Generation Intel Core Processors with Intel UHD graphics.

OpenGL support
v30.0.101.1404
This driver exposes OpenGL 4.6 with 267 OpenGL extensions for an UHD Graphics 770. Same support than previous driver (v101.1340).
- GL_VENDOR: Intel - GL_RENDERER: Intel(R) UHD Graphics 770 - GL_VERSION: 4.6.0 - Build 30.0.101.1404 - GL_SHADING_LANGUAGE_VERSION: 4.60 - Build 30.0.101.1404 - OpenGL Extensions: 267 extensions (GL=245 and WGL=22)
Vulkan support
v30.0.101.1404
This driver exposes Vulkan 1.2.204. Actually Vulkan 1.2.204 does not exist, the correct version is 1.3.204…

Any idea if this update could cause an issue DP alt? After doing the update on my HP G8 Elitebook, my USB-C to any display no longer works. All other ports work as they should through USB-c.
