i have  Dell Alienware x15 R2 HKQ72T3.

This laptop have 12th Gen Intel® Core™ i9-12900H and Intel® Iris® Xe Graphics Family

 

intel's site has this version for the video card, the dell driver site has the old version. If I install the one from the intel site, window update automatically installs the old version from the dell site.

 

Dell site: 31.0.101.4575 , 11/7/2023

Intel Site: 31.0.101.5382, March 29, 2024

Hello ali321,


Thank you for posting in Intel community Forum.


Intel drivers are generic drivers because a lot of systems are using our controllers. However, embedded controllers like Graphics may have been altered or modified or even customized by your system manufacturer so installing a generic driver may remove customizations from your computer manufacturer. Kindly check the link below of the explanation:

If you have questions, please let us know. Thank you.

I hope you are having a good day.

I am sending another follow up to check if you still have clarifications.
Since we have not heard back from you, I need to close this inquiry.
If you need further assistance, please post a new question as this thread will no longer be monitored.
