Thanks for the heads-up Shawn,
Is this related to the one that had been released today on Windows Update (see screenshot, please) ??
I've install the latest from Intel site afterward without uninstall WU.
Most of the files are from May 16, 2014 to May 28, 2014 and the version of the driver (3621) is dated from May 17, 2014.
The Windows Update one, all files are dated from May 21, 2014 and driver version (3621) from May 16, 2014.
Only few files have been updated (screenshot at bottom)
This had might be quickly updated by Microsoft because of support of the 4K monitor!!!NEW FEATURES :
Intel® Graphics Control Panel has now been updated with below improvements
o Improved responsiveness and faster launch
o A new tile - ‘profiles’ has been introduced in the Graphics control panel to allow users to save/share/import settings
Intel graphics control panel now offers an option to allow user to disable driver reporting Multi-Sample Antialiasing (MSAA) capabilities to applications. Some applications automatically enable MSAA, if the driver reports support for it. Enabling MSAA makes the workload more intensive, it can impact the frame rate/smoothness of animation for certain applications. In such cases, this option provides the user the ability to disable MSAA. The option appears in the 3D tile of Graphics control panel, under Anti-aliasing sub section.
Optimizations in the driver binary size for DirectX* user mode driver DLL files. This implies a smaller disk footprint for the graphics driver.
This driver enhances support for 4k2k (or Ultra Hi Definition) panels by adding the capability of an overlay plane (generally used for video playback) to be utilized for 4k2k panels.
HEVC decode now supported by the driver and video players can now take advantage of the GPU accelerated decode support offered by Intel.
BTW, update your games & benchmarks softwares!
