Intel has released a new version of its graphics driver for Windows 10, bringing the driver version number up to 27.20.100.8935. The biggest highlight of this release is a fix that caused Crysis Remastered to crash to desktop with the previous driver release.
This update doesn't add support for any new games, and there's just one improvement noted in this release:
- Performance improvements when using Chrome YouTube Media Playback.

- Crysis Remastered may crash to desktop while loading to gameplay.

In terms of support, there's no change here. This release is supported on the latest Windows 10 20H2 all the way back to the Fall Creators Update (version 1709). Hardware-wise, this driver still supports Intel Core processors from the 6th generation all the way through the 11th, along with some related Pentium, Celeron, and Xeon processors with Intel Graphics. Intel processors with Hybrid Technology, formerly known as Lakefield, are also supported.
