We asked, you answered. You're tired of our 'old, boring, corporate-looking' Graphics Control Panel. We were too and we designed a completely new one from the ground up! We’re incorporating the changes you – the gamers, home theater enthusiasts, professionals, and everyday tinkerers requested. Using a phased approach, we're rolling out something we're proud to share with you: introducing the Intel® Graphics Command Center.

Installed it on my system, looks pretty nice.

You told us how confusing ‘tongue twister’ features like tessellation and anisotropic filtering can be to understand, so we created a robust help option tailored to simplifying it all.

Sounds like they only talked to people who don't know the difference between dgpu and igpu.

It's a good start. Just needs a few more graphics options and some xtu integration and it will be all caught up.
I've got a feeling we will get more driver controlled graphics options when Intel releases the dgpus.

It's a good time to float this out there so people have time to check it out and give feedback. And for cheap PR. It is nice as a launcher, but my right click still brings up the old control panel.

I've downloaded plenty of applications from the MS Store and don't personally take anyone seriously who dismisses software based only on where its hosted. We all happily utilize Apple's AppStore and Google's PlayStore, yet somehow any application on the MS Store is a complete deal breaker? Its just silly IMO...

akromatic · Mar 25, 2019

it is a deal breaker because it wants you to sign in and tie an account to it which is tracked by MS along with all activities on the PC.

whats so hard about having it bundled as a driver or some .msi /.exe that you can download and install off intel directly. it is a PC not some fruit hand held device

fyi it is not all, dont generalize everyone as sheeples. just because you are happy to use some fruit app store doesnt mean everyone else is

JackCY · Mar 25, 2019

6000+ only, and from M$ crappy store, no thanks, will wait till it's in the driver itself.

I can see discrete Intel GPU's on the horizon.

skupples · Mar 26, 2019

is this in prep for actual intel dgpu or something?

when did igpu start supporting tessellation?

What in gods name is this meant to do? Who asked for this?!

The same people that asked for Crimson even though I preferred the Catalyst menu. Same people that keep asking nVidia to update their Geforce Control Panel even though they get all the same settings of Crimson in Geforce Now.

Since igpud started supporting the DX11 API. Have you never tried an igpu render benchmark? It runs. Doesn't run great, but it works.

I hear ya! It sucks that a company released an improved interface for free for products you don't own or use.

Does this actually do something that cannot be done with the old control panel?

Not all of us.

Probably practice for their dGPU launch next year.

There are a lot of options that don't seem to work for me. Like indivdual r,g,b color intensity and contrast settings both, seperated, desktop and video uses. Also a brightness setting that doesn't do anything.
It does work as a game launcher on my 7700hq laptop and has individual aa, af and vsync settings per game but I haven't checked the setting adjustment functionality yet.
It also runs on a cherry trail atom and haswell iris pcs I tried.

It could be that it isn't detecting the adjustment capabilities of my systems and just leaves options select others can use in there.
The game launcher is the only concrete difference I have seen so far.

To be fair, Catalyst was a buggy mess.

Nothing was wrong with the UI, a ton of bugs with the graphics driver.

Surely you must realize by now that you are part of an infinitesimally small minority of people at this point? I don't have hard numbers to go by, but I would be surprised if there were more than 5-10% of the adult population in the US currently that don't utilize either an Apple or Google account, especially with the advent of the Universal Access program.

Of course people are free to live their lives however they like, but I just can't imagine that some nebulous sense of privacy (the very concept of which IMO is rather dubious to begin with in today's day and age) is at all worth the clear and significant inconvenience inherent in forgoing a modern smartphone (among other things). Just seems like you are missing out on a whole heck of a lot more benefits than you are gaining...
