The new Intel graphics driver update, 101.4314, is rather poor in terms of novelties. In fact, the new driver for the blues only brings one new feature while adding a small patch. In short, it is not a panacea.
101.4314, a “small driver”!
The novelties are, finally, quite meager, since this version of the driver offers only one new addition. Indeed, the blue ones add the support of a new Vulkan extension. This extension supports decoding for H.264/AVC and H.265/HEVC… And that’s all.
In terms of patches, the same observation, we will also be very meager with the addition of a single patch. Intel fixes the problems related to some audio devices connected to USB. These could be victims of ” audio stuttering “, we imagine, jumps in the sound.
Otherwise, there is still a very long list of known and still unsolved problems. In connection with the Arc graphics cards, it is always necessary to have the admin privilege to launch the Arc Control panel. The same applies when you try to remove monitoring tiles in the software, which are not always removed… We can also talk about the video capture which generates multiple files… In short, there is still a long way to go.
