I'm trying to play Cyberpunk with an Intel Core i5-13600K, Radeon RX 7900 XTX, ASRock B760M PG Riptide, 32GB DDR5-6000, and a 2TB SSD. The game launcher warns that my Intel graphics drivers are outdated, and the game sometimes crashes without showing an AMD driver timeout or other error. Intel's driver installer fails with "No driver was found that can be installed on the current device" and installer exit code 8. Device Manager only lists my Radeon graphics card under Display adapters, presumably because the CPU's integrated graphics are disabled. Do I need to enable the iGPU in BIOS just to install its graphics driver? Also, are chipset drivers separate from the BIOS update, and could either the outdated warning or my crashes be related to those drivers?

Since the game is crashing, it may still be worth doing a clean reinstall of the Radeon driver with a utility such as DDU, then installing the current AMD Adrenalin package. A game can crash without producing the exact driver-timeout message every time. You can also confirm in Windows Graphics settings that Cyberpunk is assigned to the high-performance Radeon GPU. If the crashes continue, test with XMP disabled as well, since DDR5-6000 overclocking can sometimes cause game instability even when the system appears otherwise normal.
The i5-13600K itself doesn’t need a standalone CPU driver. The Intel installer is looking for the processor’s integrated GPU, which is probably disabled because you’re using the Radeon card. You don’t need to enable the iGPU just to play the game or update normal CPU support. If you want to install Intel graphics drivers, you would have to enable the integrated graphics in BIOS first, but that is optional. The game should be using the RX 7900 XTX, and the launcher warning may simply be detecting that the Intel graphics driver is missing.
That makes sense. I’m certain the game is rendering through the Radeon card, since switching to integrated graphics is immediately noticeable. I’ll treat the Intel graphics warning as separate from the GPU actually being used.
A BIOS update is not the same as installing all of the motherboard drivers. Go to ASRock’s support page for the exact B760M PG Riptide model and install the current Intel chipset drivers, plus any relevant management-engine or other platform drivers. These support the motherboard and CPU platform, but they are separate from the Intel integrated graphics driver.
The Radeon has been stable recently, so I’d try the chipset drivers and an XMP-off test before changing the graphics installation. The Intel CPU’s E-core/P-core scheduling is handled by Windows and the platform drivers, not by an ordinary CPU driver update.
