What is ASPEED Graphics Family (WDDM) Windows Driver?
The ASPEED Graphics Family (WDDM) Windows driver is a display driver used for ASPEED Graphics adapters, typically found in server motherboards or embedded systems. WDDM stands for Windows Display Driver Model, which is a Microsoft graphics driver model introduced with Windows Vista. WDDM drivers are essential for proper interaction between your hardware (graphics card) and the operating system, enabling functions like display resolution, multiple monitors, 3D rendering, and video acceleration.
ASPEED, a company specializing in low-power graphics solutions, creates a range of graphics products. These products are often integrated into server boards and used for tasks such as remote server management (i.e., via IPMI) rather than high-end gaming or consumer use.
The ASPEED Graphics Family (WDDM) driver ensures that the Windows operating system can communicate with these hardware components and provides features for graphics output, including basic graphical user interfaces and video output support for these systems.
