In this YouTube tutorial, it says about Intel Graphics Driver Update.
I never did this. Are you familiar with this?

Re: Intel Graphics Driver Update
I don't use intel graphics card, I use quadro graphics card, I always updated from SW site before it was removed from solidworks list. ( ? )

Re: Intel Graphics Driver Update
There are two types of graphic card (GC) in a computer. One is embedded GC, that comes with a computer. Other one is added GC. Like your quadro graphics card. Which GC YouTube is talking about.

Hi Maha,.. it depends if you are using both together, that is, a mix of the intel and nvidia? (not uncommon)Maha Nadarasa wrote: ↑Fri May 28, 2021 8:28 pm In this YouTube tutorial, it says about Intel Graphics Driver Update.

But, if you are not experiencing any issues, there is no need to update.
If you want to play/test,.. be prepared to reinstall your old driver if something goes wrong.
Anyhow, many users don't know they have two gpu's,.. and Microsoft has been aggressively pushing Windows 10 updates so, I'm not surprised something gets broken.. but it usually gets fixed pretty fast.

If both together, is it improve graphic performance? Did you try it? I did have any issues but if I can improve graphic performance it is good to try.
If YouTube is talking about updating embedded GC, it is questionable. Because I get frequent, automatic Windows 10 update. I assume embedded GC also gets update concurrently with Windows 10 update.
I get email notification about new driver for add-in GC.

Re: Intel Graphics Driver Update
The windows updates can change or mess up your settings from time to time... so, you have to re-check that the nvidia GPU is set at "High-performance nvidia processor"Maha Nadarasa wrote: ↑Sat May 29, 2021 9:33 am @zxys001

You'd have to test if the new intel drive gives you any added benefits like using other basic programming or for power/battery savings or startup times?
Anyhow, most dual GPU notebooks have both On as standard,.. the intel is generally a low power and generic demand gpu = most users.
But you're interested in using your GPU for SolidWorks... and you are most likely setting the demand for the nvidia GPU, the intel gpu is not giving you many benefits.

Desktop usually won't have build in graphic. Unless you buy a very low end economic one.Maha Nadarasa wrote: ↑Sat May 29, 2021 9:33 am @zxys001

Laptop could have both, Intel and addin video.
No, it won't improve performance. Program can only use one, not both.
Most using laptop with Intel will disable Intel on BIOS because it cause problem. SW don't know which graphic card to use.

@Frederick_Law
Now I have confusion over what is built-in & add-in
If an item can be separated from a computer that is add-in
If an item cannot be separated from a computer that is built-in
Is this what you mean?

Yes, I'm using an external video card instead of using intel. Quadro and others.Frederick_Law wrote: ↑Mon May 31, 2021 8:57 am Desktop usually won't have build in graphic. Unless you buy a very low end economic one.

Re: Intel Graphics Driver Update
If you need to update any Intel driver, use this: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/
Even with my AMD CPU, I still got Intel network driver.

Re: Intel Graphics Driver Update
Isn't a better description "on-board", indicating graphic processing parts are placed on the mother-board (main board)? As is the case with on-board sound etc?Maha Nadarasa wrote: ↑Mon May 31, 2021 9:18 am @Frederick_Law

Whatever come with motherboard is built-in.Maha Nadarasa wrote: ↑Mon May 31, 2021 9:18 am @Frederick_Law

Anything you can remove or plug on to the motherboard is add-in.
The word "integrated" usually mean built-in.

Re: Intel Graphics Driver Update
I am not familiar with these but I watched a YouTube video, in that demonstration SWX took longer time to produce result, demonstrator told if you had 2 or 3 GC's you can reduce the time taken to produce the result.

Re: Intel Graphics Driver Update
2 or 3 of the same GC, SLi for nVidia. Not 2 or 3 different manufacturer GPU.
And I kind of doubt what you do require that much GPU power.
You'll need that if you do lots of rendering.
