Hi,

I have an i5-4670K processor with HD 4600 graphics. I have no other video card in my system at the moment (my primary PCIE card is likely dead so I wanted to try out the HD4600 until I can sort out a replacement).

I installed the HD4600 graphics driver from Intel's site, and that seemed to go fine. After installing the drivers and looking at the device manager, it shows a single HD4600 device under display adapters.

However, when I try to run a game (I tried divinity original sin for example) it was running at < 1fps at the menu screen. When I eventually got into the graphics options, the only graphic adapter listed (and the one it was using) was the "Microsoft basic display adapter".

Anybody know why this might be happening?

If I look at the device manager, it tells me i have 10.18.14.4170.
If I run intel's driver update utility, it tells me I have 15.36.19.64.4170.

The actual title of the update i installed is:
Intel® Iris&#8482; and HD Graphics Driver for Windows* 7/8/8.1 64-bit
Installs the Intel® Iris&#8482; and HD Graphics Driver for Windows* 7/8/8.1 64-bit version 15.36.19.64.4170 (10.18.10.4170)
OS: Windows 7 (64-bit)*, Windows 8, 64-bit*, Windows 8.1, 64-bit*
 
I tried another quick test with furmark. It wouldn't even run a test because it couldn't detect any graphics hardware.

Detected graphics hardware:
- OpenGL renderer (main graphics card): Microsoft Basic Display Driver

<sigh>
 
Odd, before I got a dedicated card I was running 4600, installed the driver and was playing Skyrim.

Without a GPU it should default to Intel.

Looks like the driver never replaced the basic driver. You could try to updated it from device manager, just hit update and point to the driver and see what it does.

You won't get the console this way but least you might get the driver installed.
 
As far as the device manager is concerned the HD4600 is the only display device installed. But the actual adapter that windows thinks it is using is the Microsoft Basic Display Driver. No combination of installing/removing/installing/screaming makes any difference. I found one thread on intel's site where where some people were having identical problems - there was no solution of course (other than possibly re-installing windows).

Serenity now.
