Intel “GopDriver” BIOS modules
Introduction: A clean UEFI installation (BIOS: “CSM” set to “DISABLED”) of an Operating System like Win7 or newer requires a special BIOS module, which supports the “Graphics Output Protocol” (GOP) for the Graphics Adapter. Discrete graphics cards need this so-called “GopDriver” within the separate VGA Card BIOS, whereas these GOP informations for the on-board Intel iGPU are part of the mainboard BIOS and layed down within a separate module named “GopDriver”.
So BIOSes with such “GopDriver” module are already well prepared for the installation of Win7 or later in clean UEFI mode, but this is only valid for systems, where no additionally inserted graphics card is in use.
Since the “GopDriver” version of the mainboard BIOS is not always up-to-date, I offer here the latest ones:
A. For Sandy/Ivy Bridge iGPUs (Intel 6- and 7-Series Chipsets):
- >Intel SandyBridge GopDriver v2.0.1024 for HD3000 Graphics Adapters<
Notes: (uncompressed file, ready for the replacement of the AMI UEFI BIOS “IntelSnbGopDriver” module, thanks to SoniX for the file)
- >Intel IvyBridge GopDriver v3.0.1030 for HD4000 Graphics Adapters<
Notes: (uncompressed file, ready for the replacement of the AMI UEFI BIOS “IntellvbGopDriver” module, thanks to Plutomaniac for the file)
Remarks:
1- Although the specific Intel iGPU of the 6- or 7-Series Chipset will only use one of them, it is recommended to replace/insert both linked GopDriver modules (tip from SoniX). This way the user can make sure, that the suitable GopDriver of any Sandy Bridge or Ivy Bridge Graphics Adapter will be detected while booting and will work properly.
2- It is possible, that within the BIOS of some 6-Series Chipset mainboards the GopDriver modules are missing.
B. For Haswell/Broadwell iGPUs (Intel 8- and 9-Series Chipsets):
- >Intel Haswell GopDriver v5.0.1037 for “clean” Haswell HD4600/HD5000 Graphics Adapters<
Notes: (uncompressed file, ready for the replacement of the AMI UEFI BIOS “IntelGopDriver” module, thanks to SoniX for the source BIOS file)
- >Intel Broadwell GopDriver v5.5.1034 for Broadwell (or Broadwell compatible) HD4600/HD5000 Graphics Adapters<

C. For Baytrail (Valleyview):
- >Intel Baytrail (Valleyview) GopDriver v7.2.1013<
Notes: (uncompressed file, ready for the replacement of the AMI UEFI BIOS “IntelGopDriver” module, thanks to frwil for the source BIOS file)
D. For Braswell (Cherryview):
- >Intel Braswell (Cherryview) GopDriver v8.0.1041<
Notes: (uncompressed file, ready for the replacement of the AMI UEFI BIOS “IntelGopDriver” module, thanks to frwil for the source BIOS file)
E. For Skylake and Kabylake iGPUs (Intel 100-/200-Series Chipsets):
- >“pure” Intel GopDriver v9.0.1080 (without header, latest stable version for SKL/KBL iGPUs)<
Notes: Latest stable version for SKL/KBL, not requiring updating GOP VBT (uncompressed file, ready for the replacement of the AMI UEFI BIOS “IntelGopDriver” module, thanks to Pacman for the source BIOS file)
F. For Coffeelake and Cometlake iGPUs (Intel 300-Series Chipsets):
- >“pure” Intel GopDriver v9.0.1112 (without header, supports SKL/KBL/AML/CFL/CML iGPUs)<
Notes: The GOP supports SKL/KBL/AML/CFL/CML and requires GOP VBT version 221 or higher (uncompressed file, ready for the replacement of the AMI UEFI BIOS “IntelGopDriver” module, thanks to Pacman for the file)
G. For ApolloLake iGPUs (Intel “System on Chip” Chipsets):
- >Intel ApolloLake GopDriver v10.0.1037 for Intel SoC’s HD Graphics Adapters<
Notes: (uncompressed file, ready for the replacement of the AMI UEFI BIOS “IntelAplGopDriver” module, thanks to westlake for the file)
H. For Cannonlake iGPUs:
- >“pure” Intel GopDriver v11.0.1014 for Cannonlake CPU Graphics Adapters (without header)<

Notes: (uncompressed file, ready for the replacement of the AMI UEFI BIOS “IntelGopDriver” module, thanks to frwil for the source BIOS file)
- >Intel vbt v230 for IceLake CPU Graphics Adapters<
Notes: For use with the IceLake GOPDriver, thanks to frwil for the source BIOS file)
K. For LakeField iGPUs:
- >“pure” Intel GopDriver v16.0.1040 for LakeField CPU Graphics Adapters (without header)<
Notes: (uncompressed file, ready for the replacement of the AMI UEFI BIOS “IntelGopDriver” module, thanks to westlake for the source BIOS file)
L. For TigerLake iGPUs:
- >“pure” Intel GopDriver v17.0.1071 for TigerLake CPU Graphics Adapters (without header)<
Notes: (uncompressed file, ready for the replacement of the AMI UEFI BIOS “IntelGopDriver” module, thanks to westlake for the source BIOS file)
- >Intel RAW_GOP_VBT_TigerLake_240<
Notes: Thanks to westlake for the file
Guide: How to update/insert an Intel “GopDriver” module: Like the “SataDriver” modules the “GopDriver” ones are stand-alone BIOS modules and no PCI ROM modules. As a consequence the insertion, replacement, delition and extraction should be done very similar to what I have written above regarding the “SataDriver” modules.
If you should see anywhere a newer EFI LAN driver or GopDriver version, please let me know it.
