Acer C720 Drivers

rewrobbob

I found some working drivers for chipset, graphics and audio for my C720-2844 on Windows 8.1 x64 if anyone is still interested.

 

Chipset, just use this Intel utility:

Graphics, I got here:

https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/24870/Intel-Iris-and-HD-Graphics-Driver-for-Windows-7-8-8-1-64-bit

You can also get an update utility from Intel for the graphics, or to search for the right driver just search the CPU (2955U) in the download center.

The control panel won't open for me but if you dig far enough in the display settings you can change a lot of settings and even underscan the HDMI output for a TV.

 

For audio, but couldn't get HDMI audio, I used this:
