Intel HD (iGPU) graphics driver

[alQamar]

If you play Rome 2 on your CPU integrated graphics card or integrated graphics on laptops which is not from AMD / NVIDIA you will find recent drivers here.

would be nice if anyone could help me to sticky this thread along the NVIDIA and AMD drivers. I think as CA optimized the game for Intel HD xxxx iGPUs there should be enough people that do not know where to obtain new drivers for their devices and unfortunately the Intel automatic driver updater often fail to work finding new graphic drivers, nor there is an automatic updater along the driver which would notify you.

automatic driver finder (may fail to find (show) new appropriate drivers, reporting they are already up-to-date)

you need Java 7 (please watch out to keep this updated once installed because of security issues - current patch level is 7.45, java.com) or if you do not want to install Java use Internet Explorer.


2nd gen: Sandy Bridge CPU/iGPU
3rd gen: Ivy Bridge/iGPU
4th gen: Haswell/iGPU
Celeron/Pentium: Pentium D and earlier CPUs with Intel Graphics (e.g. 945/965 etc)
Video BIOS updates unfortunately only applicable on INTEL Mainboards, not on 3rd party mainboards containing Intel chipsets.

best link, with all obtainable Intel drivers, this is a german page but contains multilanguage drivers and should be self-explaining.
