Um you do realize the Xeon E3 1231v3 does not have an integrated GPU, so yeah those drivers don't exist.
Lets just say it did however iGPU drivers do not need to be installed if your GPU fails windows will default to its generic driver.

True, but I always like to have it there as a precaution, doesn't take up much space!
Also in regards to the drivers, i'm aware that Xeon processors do not have integrated graphics nor drivers, but in the above post I was speaking in general for the majority of consumer CPU changes, although you are entirely correct! Should have made it more clear.
Cheers.
No it doesn't but it can cause crashes and compatibility issues as some of our users have found. There is literally no reason to install drivers you do not need, especially in the case of a processor that has no drivers because it has no iGPU!
Suffice to say there is no such thing as CPU drivers (well not anymore anyway) the last processors that had them of any sort were AMD Phenom processors.
Other than removing and replacing the CPU there are no driver changes needed to be made and if anything you are inviting problems.
PS very clever editing, but you should just edit out the entire line about drivers, the guy is not using an iGPU!
I think you're misunderstanding me....
I'm saying that one should install iGPU drivers IF the processor in question has them.
This is a more general method than case specific, which I probably should have added in. (I'll edit the post now)
The generic windows driver is perfectly fine, but note that I am not telling OP to install ANY graphics drivers due to the fact that the Xeon does not have an iGPU.
You're right I should just edit that all out, but in the case of most consumer CPUs (Pentium/i3/i5/i7) there will be integrated graphics drivers which are handy to have if your discrete graphics card fails I find, and doing it on installation just seems like a more practical way to go about it imho. In addition, the main reason I've gotten into this habit of installing integrated graphics drivers recently is purely because of the upcoming Multiadapter feature in DX12, which utilizes multiple GPUs in your system alongside discrete cards which helps bump up performance a bit, hence the overall reason I even bother with the damned things.
I've never used them in the past, but I wanted to go about this in a way which doesn't overcomplicate the issue, rather simplifying it into 'Install and forget' for forum posters.
I understand where you're coming from, and I fully grasp the fact that you're trying to notify me of quite a critical thing, but you came off as a little rude in your response, so i'd appreciate it if you took a different tone in posting before allowing me to justify.
Thanks for your reply though.
Cheers, Chugalug
EDIT: Out of curiosity, and knowledge in future posts regarding iGPUs, what variety of issues were encountered in regards to compatibility with integrated graphics drivers?
