Custom Driver : Intel GMA 4500 MHD Extreme Plus - by nIGHmAYOR

I'll try uninstalling IntediblE then. Is it safe to just delete those files from te system folders?
Would a restore point backup them?

yes and yes and that is of course pre-installing the new driver not after

Hello again :3

Um, I did the whole uninstall/install. It is now kinda working, I think. At least my other drivers are fine.

I tried it just after installing and Godot worked thankfully. Though none of my games nor the PSP emulator worked in OpenGL mode.

Tried the Forged OpenGL thingy and even Godot wouldn't open.

I guess I can live with just my Directx 9 and 11 games, and a working Godot editor until I buy a graphics card (I hope to do so before next year comes around)

Thank you OP for this driver. I can start things right now thanks to you.

Ah, one more thing. Is OpenCL out of the question?

Well... this is embarrassing.

Godot didn't work, actually. A quick test did, but an actual game sample wouldn't render. Turns out the app is always asking for OpenGL 3.0.

I'll go to Godot forums and ask about it. Thanks again for your help.

Well basically try things meant for OpenGL 2.1 then , and yes despite the forge GL trick help opening some apps it is not guaranteed as sometimes the Apps check for the Shaders themselves they are going to use and not the OpenGL version .

I did try experiments to Implement OpenCL then found despite possible would still return same results , the GPU lack certain Shaders that OpenGL 3+ and OpenCL relay on , try to think of these two as just a middle man that pass calls from your game/app to the GPU nothing more , if the GPU doesn't understand the call will fail then glitch .

So bottom line , the driver gives you capabilities to run DirectX 9.0c and OpenGL 2.1 games and apps on Windows 10 and that is as far as your hardware buy you , so what I do is : give it Windows 10 support and acceleration doing its designated job than rather make it does the unthinkable of beating a higher end GPU .

Just a small tip, for anyone that cannot run the second script in administrator mode due to current directory being changed to system32, you can change the cd to pushd:

Code:

@pushd %~dp0\Intel HD Graphics Family (2869) Extreme Plus DCH\

Yes, I knew it just wouldn't make any miracles. I just have bad luck lol. I'll stick to this driver until I don't know maybe an RTX 2080 falls from the sky.

Thank you again :3

Posting to mark that the driver survived the 2004 feature update although somehow the update managed to revert all hardware to their w.d.d.m counterpart drivers . However , re-installing the driver again is still as smooth as always .

Hey :) thanks for the info! Can you confirm that after 2004 update the user can choose whether or not to update the drivers? :)

All drivers can be update-able to their older better versions with no problem surprisingly . The w.d.d.m drivers that gets installed haven't been modified any since 2016 .

Hey nIGHTmAYOR. I just wanted to say that after turning on the unreleased Intel kernel 600 in tweaks I got much clearer audio. I use PCIe soundcard SoundblasterX AE-5, 2017 version and the sound was already very good when the kernel 500 was on. I was surprised that the sound changed, when I was reading other forums, everyone always said that GPU or iGPU does not affect sound that much. What do you think about this? Could this cause any damage to the soundcard?
