Ivy Bridge Vista On-Chip Graphics Driver... When?

[idata]

I realize there is at present no on-chip graphics driver available for Ivy Bridge on Vista (somewhat of a disappointment to me after building up my system). Will this driver ever be availabledriver?

There are no plans on releasing drivers for Windows Vista*; for further information feel free referring to: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=21310&ProdId=3498&lang=eng&OSVersion=Windows%20Vista%2032*&DownloadType=Documentation http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=21310&ProdId=3498&lang=eng&OSVersion=Windows%20Vista%2032*&DownloadType=Documentation

As it turns out, the Win7 driver works perfectly.

We are glad to know you found a driver that worked. If any technical assistance is need, feel free contacting your local support group: http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/contact/phone Phone Support

You should say something like "while drivers for Vista have not been officially released, in many cases the Win7 driver will work". I'm assuming this is the case, and that would really have been a "helpful" response.

Since the driver is not designed for Windows Vista* the statement suggested is not valid at this time. However, we do appreciate your feedback on that matter and it will be forwarded to the appropiate support group for future consideration.
