Hello gearslogy,

Thank you for sharing your issue with the community. Based on the image you provided, there seems to be a difference when using the Vulkan API. To better assist you, I have a few questions:

• What is your current driver version?
• Have you tried using different drivers for testing?
• Does the issue also occur with different software, or is it only happening with Houdini?
• Have you performed a clean installation of the driver?

Additionally, to better understand your entire system information, please use the System Support Utility (SSU). This tool will generate a text file compiling all your system information. You can follow the instructions in the link and send the text file here: Help Guide for the Intel® System Support Utility

Also, could you trying this work around and let me know if this will resolve the issue: 

1. Go to %HOME%/houdiniX.Y/houdini.env
2. Type HOUDINI_VULKAN_VIEWER=0
3. Save log

Hi gearslogy,

I wanted to provide you with an update regarding the issue you're experiencing. Based on our investigation, the fix for the Geometry problem when using Vulkan in the Houdini application has been implemented in driver version 32.0.101.6732. Please update your driver to latest version (32.0.101.6739). For optimal results, I recommend using Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) to perform a clean installation. Please follow the steps below for guidance and instructions:

1. Download Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU)< software and extract the file.
2. Open DDU ****.exe and run extract program.
3. Reboot into Windows* safe mode. (Refer to Start your PC in safe mode in Windows.)
4. Go to the DDU extract path and double-click the Display Driver Uninstaller.exe to open DDU.
5. Click Close in the Options window.
6. Select device type to GPU and select device to INTEL.
7. Click Clean and restart or Clean and Shutdown depending on your needs
8. Wait the software to finish the process and auto reboot Windows to the normal mode or shutdown.

Please let me know the results after you've updated your driver.
