Confused about which version of Intel Graphics is the better one for my PC

[PatriotinhoLouco]

Hello, guys. I ask for your help. I'm trying to understand if i have the most recent graphic drivers installed on my PC (Intel i3 3250).

I downloaded and installed the "Intel Drivers Suport Assistant" and it automatically searched for drivers, and the result was that, apparently, i already have the most up to date graphic drivers.

However, searching manually on the website of Intel, i found that there is a graphic driver with a version number that looks newer than mine drivers, but i'm not sure about it.

My current graphic drivers is the Intel HD Graphics version 10.18.10.5161, date 06/08/2020.

The one that i found after manually searching is the Intel Graphics Drivers for Babytrail and third generation, version 15.33.53.5161, date 10/22/2020.

I even tried to install this last one, but i received the following message: "This computer already have the most recent version of the drivers you're trying to install (Intel HD Audio and Intel HD Graphics). Are you sure you want to replace your drivers for those you're trying to install?"

So i'm quite confused. Can someone help me understand which one is the most recent one?

What OS?

This is your processor:

It has HD Graphics 2500

This is the graphics driver:

The reality is that you really need to upgrade your hardware to something made in this decade.

So this means that the Intel Automatic Search for newer drivers is wrong and that i don't have the most up to date drivers, right? So it means that i should ignore the warning message that is telling me to not replace my drivers for those of the 15.33 version.

Thanks for the help, Doc!

Yes, that is correct. You may have to completely uninstall your existing driver before you can install the 15.33 version.
