Intel has just made available its new Iris / HD Graphics driver version 15.31.17 build 3257 compatible with both 32- and 64-bit architectures of Microsoft’s Windows 7 and 8 operating systems.

The release includes a large number of fixed issues that were spotted on system configurations containing Intel’s 3rd and 4th Generation CPUs, and might increase performance for games like Metro: Last Light, Dota 2, GRID 2, Lost Planet 3, as well as Total WAR: Rome II.

Build 3257 resolves the train floor corruption seen in Battlefield 3, the 339 shader error spotted in Sandra 2013 Cryptography, and the problem with BioShock encountered at the beginning of the game.

In addition to that, it fixes the Intel Graphics Control Panel that showed incorrect information, the HD Audio and Display Audio devices in Windows Device Manager, and corruptions seen in Resident Evil 5 Benchmark and recursive Gaussian tests.

Besides the obvious Iris and HD Graphics drivers, this latest version also contains the Display Audio driver, Media SDK Runtime, OpenCL files, and the Graphics Control Panel.
