Intel Graphics Driver v26.20.100.6709 releases: new iGCC control panel

Intel launched a new version of the graphics card driver for the unreleased Windows 10 version 1903. The biggest highlight of this new graphics driver is the iGCC Control Panel, a new modern graphics command center from Intel. For example, it supports automatic detection of games already installed in the current system and optimizes them, quickly adjust the graphics settings and add a brief description next to the settings. However, the new graphics driver only supports Intel series 7th generation and above, so users who use the old processor can’t install it.

In addition, the DCH version of the driver only supports Windows 10 64-bit system installation.
