WDDM 2.6-Treiber ist da. Oder auch nicht, Gemini Lake verbleibt bei 2.5...

[Loeschzwerg]

Der Treiber 26.20.100.6813 (via Windows Update) ist scheinbar zu 100% OpenGL 4.6 konform:

Der Treiber für Gemini Lake hat immer noch kein WDDM 2.6. Nicht, dass man es bräuchte, aber etwas komisch ist es schon.

[Loeschzwerg]

Eine wirkliche Begründung fällt mir dazu jetzt auch nicht ein, außer dass man sich evtl. generell Arbeit (u.a. QA) für GT1/1.5 sparen möchte.

Die DHC-Treiber sind jetzt endlich generisch und kommen nicht mehr fest in OEM-Versionen, OEMs können eigene Anpassungen über Windows Update einspielen.

Endlich kein Rumgehampel mehr mit DDU weil Windows Update mal wieder einen uralten OEM-Treiber einspielt :crazy:

[aufkrawall]

Dafür musste ich auf dem Gemini Lake-System erstmal mit DDU rumhampeln, um den neuen Treiber wegen einer Fehlermeldung des Installers aufspielen zu können. :freak:
Die reguläre Deinstallations-Routine war ein Witz, da lief einfach der selbe Treiber mit ein paar Hintergrundprozessen weniger weiter.

Es gibt eine neue Beta.

Intel® Graphics - BETA Windows® 10 DCH Drivers
Version: 27.20.100.8581

This BETA driver adds support for the Vulkan*3 extension VK_EXT_pipeline_creation_cache_control - This Khronos* extension adds flags to Vk*PipelineCreateInfo and VkPipelineCacheCreateInfo structures with the goal of providing information about potentially expensive hazards within the client driver during pipeline creation to the application before carrying them out rather than after.

KEY ISSUES FIXED:

Intermittent crash or hang seen in Red Dead Redemption 2* (Vulkan), Cities Skylines, FIFA20 (when switching between windowed and full screen) on 10th Generation Intel Core processors with Intel Iris Plus graphics.

Minor graphics anomalies may be observed in Tom Clancy’s The Division 2* (DX12), Rise of the Tomb Raider* (DX12).
