HD Graphics API issue?

[eones]

Hello everybody.

I have a problem about graphics APIs support (for example HD Graphics 4600).

According to (https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/graphics-drivers/000005524.html Supported APIs and Features for Intel® Graphics Drivers ) page 4th generation processors DirectX support is 11.1 but on the other hand according to release notes on October 17, 2016 DirectX support is 12.0. So i am confused now. Which information is true? Supported APIs page or release notes?

Thanks for your attentions ...

Check out DXDIAG.EXE / display / driver

It should read sth. like:

Direct3D DDI 12

Function levels 11.1, 11.0...

Intel control panel / options / infos

runtime version 12.0

hardware support 11.1

More comprehensive infos are exposed by realtechVR's https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/directx-extensions-viewer/9wzdncrfk07l DirectX Extensions Viewer - Microsoft Store

Files that i mentioned are in attach.

• According to 2015 notes (4th gen processors with hd graphics): DirectX 11.2, OpenGL 4.3
• 2016 notes: DirectX 12.0, OpenGL 4.3
• https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/graphics-drivers/000005524.html Supported APIs and Features for Intel® Graphics Drivers page says DirectX 11.1, OpenGL 4.0

So i am confused

Thanks for your attentions.

/thread/116755 esmaon, thank you for all this information.

In this case the Supported APIs and Features for Intel® Graphics Drivers site specifies the version support for all previous versions of the API, and the version you find the the Release Notes specifies the DirectX and OpenGL version supported once that specif driver is installed. So, you should focus on the Release Notes instead of the Supported APIs and Features for Intel® Graphics Drivers site.
