Just before the weekend, Intel published version 25.20.100.6519 of its Graphics drivers. This new release packs the Intel Audio driver version 10.26.00.05, as Windows ML optimizations, better support for Windows 10 Ambient light sensor framework, and various power and performance improvements.
PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENTS:
Improved shader cache performance of DirectML metacommands for Microsoft WinML- based applications on 7th
Generation Intel® Core processor and higher.
Performance improvements and optimizations for F1 2018* (DX 12*) on 6th Generation Intel® Core processors or
higher.
Functional and performance improvements in Vulkan driver.
NEW FEATURES:
Enhanced support for Windows* 10 Ambient light sensor framework.
Enhanced support for Windows* 10 Ambient light sensor framework requires nits (light luminance/brightness unit) level driver interface support. This new interface allows much more precise brightness control by the operating system (when desired) to adjust panel brightness based on actual ambient light luminance nits instead of applying mere percentage-based values.
KEY ISSUES FIXED:
Intermittent crashes or hangs may occur in Battlefield V* (DX12*).
Minor graphics anomalies may be observed in Farming Simulator 2019*.
Optimization checkbox for gaming tuning in the Graphics Control Panel does not refresh after restoring settings in
some systems.
Video profile settings in Intel® Graphics Control Panel may not apply after white balance or color balance.
Power consumption may be higher after disconnecting HDMI 2.0 display.
4K resolution may be lost when switched between HD and 4K monitors during sleep mode.
Brightness compensation may be applied when in SDR (Standard Resolution) mode.
Performance may be slightly lower on certain graphics workloads in full screen after resuming from sleep.
