i7-14700K Should I install Intel Arc drivers?

[Marszal22]

Hi, do I need to install any drivers for the 14700K processor because it has a built-in gpu? I'm asking because I keep getting the Intel Driver and Support Assistant to tell me to install driver 31.0.101.5085/31.0.101.5122 (WHQL certified) for Intel Arc A-series graphics, Intel Iris Xe graphics, and Intel Core™ Ultra processors with Intel®®®®® Arc graphics. ™™® At the moment I don't have a deyed graphics card, soon there will be some nvidia rtx.

The 14700K processor has a built-in Intel Arc graphics. You do need to install the drivers for this graphics card to enable its full functionality and performance. The driver version 31.0.101.5085/31.0.101.5122 is the latest one available for this graphics card, and it is recommended to install it to get the best gaming and multimedia experience.

You can download the driver from the Intel Drivers and Software or use the Intel Driver and Support Assistant (IDSA) to automatically detect and install the driver for your system.

Once again, you have the option to install the update or ignore it. For more details, you can check the following articles:
