For this Intel on-board video (965 Express Chipset Family), Windows 8 automatically installed its native driver (version 8.): which is different from the latest one available on Intel's Driver Download Center (version 8.): Release dates are: 04-Oct-11 for 10.2548 and 10-Feb-09 for 10.1930 Where these Windows 8's native drivers come from? And does Intel plans updating their old one to meet Win8's requirements and solve all compatibility issues? On both versions I had some fullscreen problems on several video games (for example, Gothic) and I'd like to know that in the future my vga will be fully compatible with Windows 8. Thank you!:). This is just really sad to hear, cause the driver Windows is providing is bugged like crazy. I run the same chipset and it is pretty much impossible to play any game with it, flash player is crashing like every 5 minutes and I cannot even test the frame rate from the the driver. And yes, it is pretty much impossible to install the windows 7 driver.
Also I think this is just a sad thing to do for consumers willing to switch to the new Windows 8 and are just forced to stay on Windows 7 due to this. There has not been a descent update for the x3100 driver in years. Is this consumer friendly thinking a la Intel? I can understand this is an older chipset, and it might take work to provide a driver for it, but where is the consumer in this matter? We really need some fix.
So my question is simple. Will Windows provide a descent solution for older graphics drivers.?
