Intel Releases New Graphics Driver: Supports Microsoft CASO to optimize Win11 responsiveness

IT House March 11 news, Intel this week released the latest new Windows DCH graphics driver version 30.0.101.1404 official release, mainly on the 11th generation Intel Core Tiger Lake processor running on Windows 11 systems on the Cross-Adapter Resource Scan Output (CASO) support.

IT Home understands that CASO enables the 1-copy path, which reduces the overall workload, so performance can be improved in some cases while optimizing system responsiveness under Win11, and upgrades are recommended.

The new version of the driver supports cross-adapter resource scan output (CASO) to optimize processing, bandwidth, and latency on hybrid graphics Windows 11 systems with Intel Iris Xe graphics on 11th gen Intel Core processors.

The new 30.0.101.1404 driver is compatible with all Intel 6th Gen and later CPUs, also supports Iris Xe discrete graphics, and supports Windows 10 version 1809 and later.
