find older Intel Iris Graphics

[ComputerUser1234]

Hey folks,

very recently i aquired a used laptop with intel i7 1185G7E, Intel Iris Graphics, 2x8 GB RAM. I want to use this pc to play older games such as BF3, which unfortunately doesnt work as well as expected. I stumbled upon some comments online where people claimed that for older games older drivers can positively affect performance. Unfortunately I cant find significantly older drivers on the Intel driver download website, which is the reason i am making this thread. 

Does anybody here know a trustworthy website to get these older drivers (2020) from?

 

help is appreciated!

Check the laptop manufacturer. Their websites are often full of out of date drivers!

Since it is a Dell, direct/general downloads are not easy if even possible to find. If you go to their support section, you can either manually enter the service code (on a sticker somewhere) or it gives the option to scan your laptop and show you drivers for it.

Your CPU was released in late 2020. Don't get your hopes up a driver from 3 years before that will work at all.
