Hi, I am nursing with various reliability issues after installing this new driver update. The desktop menu takes about 5 seconds to display its menu after right clicking. By right it should be instantaneous. On the other hand, the graphics performance is great but it drains a lot of my CPU performance. Therefore, the games like Call Of Duty Black Ops (2010) will lags when initially launched and stutter thus prevents it to run smoothly. But it seems to be bizarre that the game will gain its total performance back after 2-3 minutes later when playing. (The previous driver does not have this issue). I am impressed WITH the Anti-Aliasing option that has been made available in the graphics control panel. However, F1 2013 shows a black screen start up when Anti-Aliasing option is manually disabled in the CPL but regains its normal state when the anti-aliasing is set to application control. Here would be some of my recommendation for Intel to apply fixes on the next update:
1.Further optimized driver to reduce its memory footprint.
2. Reduce the Load on CPU resources.
3. Improve quality and performance on OpenGL, Open CL, and DirectX compliant application.
4. Enhance viewing experience by optimizing multiple ultra high quality images to deliver a powerful solution for Microsoft office applications (such as power point, word and excel).
5.(Reviewing back recommendation 4) Improve Performance on slide shows images and image editing via Microsoft office applications.
6. Add more OpenGL support.
7. Improve application launch speed.
8. Further tuned gaming playability and performance.
9. Improve user experience when watching 4K Ultra HD Videos at higher quality without sacrificing its performance.
10. Add custom resolution option in the control panel start screen at the "Display" tab for easier customization.
11. Provide better compatibility with visual c/c++ application.
12. Add check for update button option on the control panel start screen that allow user to automatically check and download driver updates for their system directly without having the hassle to browse and search manually for latest driver online.
Please do consider all or some recommendation suggested above if you think it is appropriate.
Here is my system specification:
Lenovo G480 (Laptop):
Windows 8 single Language 64-bit
Intel Pentium Dual-Core 2020M
(2.4 Ghz/ 2MB Cache/ 1600MHz)
10GB DDR3 RAM (After upgrading)
500GB SATA 3 HDD
Thank You.
