#Why is Intel DSA showing two different graphics drivers? (Arc vs. 11th-14th Gen)

Hey everyone, I'm using an MSI Thin GF63 12HW and I'm a bit confused by the Intel Driver & Support Assistant. It’s prompting me to install two separate graphics updates:

  • Intel Arc Graphics - Windows

  • Intel 11th - 14th Gen Processor Graphics - Windows

Won't these two drivers clash if I try to install both? Specifically, if I choose a "Clean Installation" for one, will it wipe out the other?
My laptop has an Alder Lake CPU (i5 12500H) and an Intel Arc dedicated GPU(Arc A370M). Should I be installing both of these, or is one intended to override the other? Any advice on the proper installation order would be greatly appreciated!

one driver is for your cpu gpu and will try to find the integrated gpu, while the other one will try to find any intel arc gpu like a b580 or a370m

i think they shouldnt break when both are running, i suppose clean install looks for the older driver of a specific driver (like arc) and removes it
