Intel Graphics Driver 30.0.101.1660 Released (Vulkan 1.3.205)

 
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 30.0.101.1660) brings the following changes:

DEVELOPER HIGHLIGHTS:
– Blender Cycles oneAPI support on 11th Generation Intel Core Processors and newer.

ISSUES FIXED:
– Minor graphical anomalies seen in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla (DX12) on 11th and 12th Generation Intel Core Processors.
– Minor graphical anomalies seen in Baldur’s Gate 3 (Vulkan) on Intel Iris Xe Discrete graphics.
– A TDR may be observed during Netflix HEVC HDR Playback on 11th and 12th Generation Intel Core Processors.

This driver also brings new Vulkan extensions.

OpenGL support

v30.0.101.1660

This driver exposes OpenGL 4.6 with 267 OpenGL extensions for an UHD Graphics 770. Same support than this old driver (v101.1404).

- GL_VENDOR: Intel
- GL_RENDERER: Intel(R) UHD Graphics 770
- GL_VERSION: 4.6.0 - Build 30.0.101.1660
- GL_SHADING_LANGUAGE_VERSION: 4.60 - Build 30.0.101.1660

Vulkan support

v30.0.101.1660

This driver exposes Vulkan 1.3.205. Finally, the driver team has correctly labelled the Vulkan version 😉

This driver adds four new device extensions:
– VK_KHR_maintenance4
– VK_KHR_dynamic_rendering
– VK_EXT_primitive_topology_list_restart
– VK_KHR_format_feature_flags2
