See Understanding the Intel Graphics Driver version numbering. See How do I identify my graphics driver version? What do the numbers in my graphics driver version mean? To check whether your computer is using Intel graphics, use the Intel® Driver & Support Assistant. Intel Graphics Drivers support specific Intel® Processor graphics or integrated graphics. The computer manufacturer can offer customized versions of the Intel Graphics Drivers for your particular computer model. Intel has generic versions of the Intel® Graphics Drivers available but recommends using drivers from your computer manufacturer. Intel develops graphics drivers so that Windows* operating systems can communicate with specific Intel® graphics devices. The OS uses the driver to communicate with a specific hardware device. If this doesn't help, please provide error messages in question.Click or the topic for details: What is a graphics driver?Ī driver is software written for a specific operating system (OS). Just click the Update Drivers button on Intel's website and follow on-screen instructions. Since you haven't provided exact error messages that you're seeing (these are always important, error messages almost always describe the culprit) I can only recommend updating your drivers. I don't know what exactly would happen if you uninstall the Intel driver, but I'm pretty sure nothing good. For Intel GPU these are just still images and it's quite good at rendering them, so there's no performance loss. Then pre-rendered frames are sent to Intel GPU and it forwards them to outputs. When a graphics-intensive application is running, NVIDIA GPU kicks in and starts rendering graphics. It's always enabled and it's the only device in your laptop that can produce video signal on outputs. Your laptop's main graphics card is Intel HD Graphics 4000, which is integrated in the CPU. This is true for most laptops with hybrid NVIDIA graphics. It has two GPUs, but only one is completely wired and all outputs are connected to it. Here's a part of my answer to a different question:įirst off, your laptop doesn't actually have two complete graphics cards. The actual driver is still working.įurthermore, you're using the Intel GPU all the time, even when NVIDIA GPU is enabled to be always-on. It's not an essential component of the driver suite. Igfxtray is responsible for the notification area icon of Intel's display driver.
