Nvidia and Intel video card on a laptop, WDDM2.2 support for intel output

Hi, I'm trying to get my HP / Microsoft Mixed Reality Headset setup for mixed reality development.

My laptop (Lenovo Yoga 700) has a somewhat decent video card (Geforce 940M). This card is detected on Mixed Reality as good enough to run, since it has WDDM 2.2 drivers installed. All good.. but my laptop also has an Intel 520 card, which, on the current version (Skylake) only has WDDM 2.1. Now the external hdmi output renders on the Geforce, but goes through the intel card, so even though I have enough power and drivers to run Mixed Reality with the Geforce, the HDMI output does not work (it does not pass the compatibility test screen).

It seems like the only way to make it work would be to have WDDM 2.2 drivers on the Intel 520 video card (Skylake). Is it coming out some time?

Hello raphadko,

 

 

I understand you would like to know if there are going to be WDDM 2.2 graphics drivers for Skylake CPUs.

 

 

Let me do further research about this and then come back to you. I will let you know when I have this information.

 

 

Regards,

Hello raphadko,

 

 

I regret to inform you that currently we offer WDDM 2.2 support for Kaby Lake graphics controllers only. Skylake CPUs support up to WDDM 2.1. There is no information about if in the future there will be or not WDDM 2.2 drivers for Skylake CPUs.

 

 

Regards,

for desktop computers they don't seem to last as long as they used to, so nobody with any system older than kabylake will be able to use Windows Mixed reality then, amazing?!?, using the Cell Phone style support model, as a long time intel buyer I am disappointed in this.
