Intel has published some days ago a new version of its graphics driver for HD Graphics 2000/3000 GPUs (2nd generation Intel Core i3 processor, 2nd generation Intel Core i5 processor, 2nd generation Intel Core i5 vPro processor, 2nd generation Intel Core i7 processor, and 2nd generation Intel Core i7 vPro™ processor). The graphics driver (v8.15.10.2656 for the 3D module) fixes several game-related bugs and adds new OpenGL extensions. More information about this driver in the release notes.
