The Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X4500, commonly known as GMA X4500, is an integrated graphics solution developed by Intel. It was introduced as part of the Intel 4 Series chipset family and was integrated into many motherboards for mid-range and budget desktop computers. The GMA X4500 offers support for DirectX 10, providing basic 3D graphics capabilities for tasks like video playback, office applications, and casual gaming. However, it is not suitable for demanding 3D gaming or graphics-intensive tasks. The X4500 is power-efficient and ideal for systems where energy consumption is a concern. While it’s not designed for high-performance graphics, it serves well in everyday computing scenarios.
Drivers:
Intel GMA 15.17.17 для Windows Vista/7 и 14.42.11 для Windows XP. К интегрированной графике поколения X4500 в чипсетах 4-й серии, включая мобильные и настольные варианты: GL40/GS40, G41, B43/G43/Q43, G45/GM45/GS45/Q45.
Оба производителя мощных дискретных видеокарт предлагают единые драйверы для всей линейки продуктов (включая интегрированную графику) за исключением совсем уж древних моделей. AMD Catalyst подойдет для видеокарт начиная с ATI Radeon HD 24xx, а драйверы NVIDIA для видеокарт начиная с GeForce 6xxx. В случае Intel говорить о единых драйверах не приходится. При выпуске новой линейки интегрированной графики предыдущее поколение драйверов со временем выделяется в отдельную ветку, а выпуск драйверов для более ранних моделей прекращается. Мало того, что интегрированная графика Intel уступает в мощности и полноте поддержки DirectX конкурентам, а качество драйверов прихрамывает, так еще и с поддержкой продуктов прошлых поколений непорядок.
Последними драйверами Intel для интегрированных в процессоры видеокарт новой серии HD Graphics являются 15.22.1 для Windows Vista/7 и 14.46.4 для Windows XP. На радость владельцев предыдущего поколения видеокарт Graphics Media Accelerator драйверы для соответствующих вариантов Windows были обновлены до версий 15.17.17 и 14.42.11.
Свежие драйверы Intel GMA предназначены для интегрированной графики поколения X4500 в чипсетах 4-й серии, включая их мобильные и настольные варианты: GL40/GS40, G41, B43/G43/Q43, G45/GM45/GS45/Q45. Драйвер Intel GMA 15.17.17 выпущен на днях, а версия 14.42.11 появилась два месяца назад. Применительно к графике чипсетов серии 4x в последних выпусках было исправлено несколько ошибок:
- Черный экран при воспроизведении HD-видео на UL-процессорах (Windows 7).
- Сброс на разрешение 640×480 после установки драйвера (Windows 7).
- Сбой в работе интерфейса передачи сигнала на дисплей (Windows XP).

The Intel GMA X4500 Driver is a graphics card driver that is designed to improve the performance of your computer’s graphics card. It is designed for use with Intel Core(TM) Processors. The driver can be downloaded here. This article also covers the Operating Systems supported by this driver and any known issues with it.

Supported OSes:
The supported OSes for Intel’s GMA X4500 graphics chip are Mac OS X 10.4 (Lion) and OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard). The GMA X4500 driver is available for Mac OS X 10.4 and above.
Earlier generations of the GMA graphics processor had limited hardware support and relied on the graphics pipeline of the host CPU. This was changed in 2006 with the introduction of the 4th-generation GMA architecture. This version of the graphics chip offers improved performance by combining a fixed-function architecture with a threaded array of programmable execution units. This architecture enables the GPU to switch between video and graphics tasks more fluidly.
The GMA X4500 driver supports Intel HD Graphics 4000 and 2500 graphic chipsets. This driver supports OpenGL 3.0/GLSL 1.30. Additionally, it includes the libva/VA-API library for hardware accelerated video decoding. The supported video formats include MPEG-4 AVC/H.264, H.263, and VC-1/WMV3 formats.
Driver download:
The GMA X4500 is an integrated graphics solution from Intel. It is based on the Intel G965 north bridge controller. The chip supports DirectX 10.0, although it does not support DirectX 11 or DirectX 12. It has 80 shading units and 10 texture mapping units, and it operates at a maximum frequency of 533 MHz. The chip is capable of a maximum power draw of 13 W.
The driver update comes with a variety of improvements and bug fixes. First, it improves the performance of video playback by fixing guardband issues related to vertex processing. Also, it fixes the system hangs when switching between users. Second, it fixes a bug that affects CRT screen panning when performing certain operations. Third, it provides support for new hardware features. Moreover, the driver is easy to install.
Moreover, you can also install third-party drivers for your Intel graphics card. This is because the generic Windows driver does not support hardware 3D acceleration. Third-party drivers can be downloaded from the Internet for free.
Known issues:
Intel’s GMA X4500 graphics chip supports a variety of display formats. For example, if you have a Mac and want to run a game on that platform, you should install the latest version of the Intel GMA X4500 driver. However, if you have an Intel desktop G965 and are using an older driver, you should use the latest driver available for the desktop G965 instead.
The GMA X4500 driver supports DirectX 9.0 and the vertex shader model 2.0. Some applications may not run properly with this driver. It also supports the latest DirectX version, which includes DirectX 9.0c. Some users have also reported problems with the driver causing the device to freeze.
Some computers may experience random crashes or hangs, especially those with low-powered Intel processors. These crashes may occur without warning and are not recorded in logs. In some cases, enabling states and disabling display power management may fix the issue. However, it is not recommended to enable these parameters on a low-powered system.
Known issues with this driver:
Intel has released a new driver for its GMA X4500 graphics card. It supports DirectX 9.0c and DirectX 9.1c and supports the pixel and vertex shader models. There are some known issues with this driver. Here are some of them.
The first issue is that the driver doesn’t work with some graphics cards. In this case, the driver isn’t being loaded properly. The driver is not working on the affected Macs. The problem is that these graphics cards were not compatible with Mac OS X Lion.
Another issue is the fact that some GPUs don’t support the default GuC submission and HuC firmware loading. This can cause freezing on certain systems. The workaround is to change the mode setting option to built-in or module. It should load automatically during system boot. However, this should only be done on systems with the Intel GMA X4500 graphics card. You should not change this setting without consulting the manufacturer of your computer.
Another issue is related to the Plasma Desktop. It seems that the driver is causing the game to crash. The glxgears utility will report a high frame rate but the animation won’t update. If it works on your system, you can change the X driver.

DRIVERS FOR INTEL X4500
(Q45,Q43,G45,G43,G41,B43)
My lastest Intel Modded Divers (Supports for Windows 7,8,8.1,10.) version 10.0.
What’s new:
I increased restriction in the use of memory to 2.00 GB.
I turned on the MediaScaling and DynamicScaling that very well affect the performance of the graphics card. Also turned pipe optimization.
I created 2 driver version: full and lite. If you have 1 GB or more RAM, you need to install the lite version. If you have 3 GB or more RAM, you need to install the full version. What is the difference? Lite version uses less memory at 2 times (64 MB or more). Full version uses two times more RAM (128-192 and more).
For X64[64Bit] OS:
Lite (If you have 1 gb and more of RAM) >Download<
Full (If you have 3 gb and more of RAM) >Download<
