Install drivers for Intel integrated GPU in Ubuntu 18.04 for DaVinci Resolve 17?
Solution 1:
DaVinci Resolve Minimum System Requirements
GPU memory
- 512MB – Forget about it
- 1GB – You’ll be okay with basic HD ProRes work, checking RAW files but avoid noise reduction and optical flow.
- 1.5GB – Approaching the absolute minimum to use Resolve with some level of complexity in HD. Noise reduction and optical flow will still be problematic. I’ve made a 1.5GB Intel Iris Pro GPU work well on a iMac and Macbook Pro, and manage to render a full 4K delivery.
- 2GB – A comfortable HD experience, limited 4K work.
- 4GB – Minimum for comfortable 4K work.
- 6GB – You can tackle pretty much everything a project is likely to require.
- 8GB+ – You can actually tackle everything any project is likely to require.

I had the same problem, but installing the latest intel-cl drivers as described on the developer-page helped: https://github.com/intel/compute-runtime/blob/master/opencl/doc/DISTRIBUTIONS.md Cheers M
Solution 3:
Double check what hardware you actually have.
Intel graphics are integrated. If you don't have a dedicated GPU, that means that your CPU is also your iGPU.
If you're currently operating a desktop environment, then your graphics drivers are already installed and working.
If you didn't have a working iGPU or a GPU you would not be able to use a desktop environment.
Furthermore, unless you have a NVIDIA GPU, you have no use for NVIDIA graphics cards' drivers. In fact, if you forced the installation with incompatible hardware, you could very well break your system.
I don't know anything about your application, but it suggests to me that you may have set a wrong setting in that application. If you do not have a dedicated GPU and you are supposed to choose between CPU and GPU processing, you must probably select CPU.
After a quick search from my favorite search engine using the terms "DaVinci Resolve 17 minimum system requirements", it seems to suggest that a dedicated GPU is a requirement to run the software.
