Firmware update Arc driver gfx_win_101.4572

[EndBase]

Anybody having his hands on the gfx_win_101.4572 driver it includes a firmware update if you install it.

My question is it safe to install it? I got my hands on the driver but want to check first before I try it out.

Hello EndBase,

We appreciate your patience.

Intel only recommends downloading and installing drivers from Intel's official sources e.g. Intel Driver & Support Assistant, downloadcenter.intel.com. Any software obtained from a 3rd party entity or site can contain malicious code and puts your personal data or computer at risk, therefore the file you mentioned hosted on a 3rd party site may be dangerous and it is not validated by Intel
