Intel graphic drivers (how to update)

[Xamurai]

I started the witcher 3 and the launcher say my graphic driver is not up-to-date.
my GPU is up-to-date. But Intel drivers might be not.
Following the link to Intel is a bit overwhelming. The sheer amount of Drivers and updates are overwhelming and i have no idea how or what to install...How do you know what driver you need?

Just Google
Intel driver assist
It's right there for anyone with Intel Motherboard Chipset, GPUs, LAN/WIFI

Do you have 2 GPUs since most PCs do?

And by Intel GPU you mean the dedicated PCIE ARC GPU right?

[Xamurai]

No i have 1 nvidea RTX. and a intel CPU.

In the intel software there appeared now 2 drivers (but only unrelated wifi & bluetooth)

there is also a question "Is my system ready for Intel® Arc™ dedicated graphics?"
Not sure if i need this.

Then games should never be seeing your Intel Onboard GPU.

Bring up Windows Graphics Settings, click Browse, navigate to game folder, add all game related EXE files to the listing, change Options for each EXE to High Performance NVIDIA GPU.

Done now enjoy your games.

Make sure your Displays are all connected to NVIDIA GPU, not the Motherboard video outputs, which would use the Intel GPU.

then you dont need the intel igpu driver, unless you use it for video encoding/decoding
even then, whatever driver it has is fine as long as its correct
correct is always better than incorrect or a random guess from ms

The iGPU - the Intel one on the MB - can be disabled in BIOS.

You want it enabled. It's the better Video Encoder.
