There’s another new graphics driver, version 32.0.101.7076, ironically posted the same day I posted this thread. I didn’t see it at the time because I had uninstalled Intel’s Driver & Support Assistant after being creeped out at the way it runs a local HTTP server and lets any old program speak WebSockets to a privileged process.
I’m updating now, and I still have five (5) missions to finish in Operation Bolted Barbecue before the 15th, so I will definitely find out if 32.0.101.7076 is as reliable as 32.0.101.7029 has been (still zero problems!). Watch for an edit to this post some time in idk maybe a few days
e: so far this is even better — I was able to run a 3DMark “Time Spy” benchmark all the way through on the FW12 for the first time ever! It always died in “Graphics test 1” on both the bundled 32.0.101.6314 and my previously-installed 32.0.101.7029 with some “No result produced” error that I never cared to debug.
And was able to pass a 3DMark stress test on the FW12 for the first time ever! It previously always failed due to maximum frame stability in the low-90-percents.
e2: Just saw this thread about the new beta bundle and it has 32.0.101.7026: Framework Laptop 12 (Intel® Core™ 13th Gen) Driver Bundle v1.01 2025_09_23 Release BETA - #3 by ErisLoona
