Supported APIs for Intel® Graphics
PC games and applications often require a graphics card that is compatible with specific Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), such as OpenGL*, DirectX*, OpenCL*, or Vulkan*. Intel Graphics supports a wide range of APIs.
We recommend that you update to the latest Intel Graphics driver to get full API support. For more information about installing the latest graphics driver on your system, see How to Install an Intel® Graphics Driver in Windows® 10.
