Step 1
Even after a product is released, companies do not stop developing new drivers. This helps to improve the performance of the equipment. Sometimes updating work files brings new functionality. The best way to install a new version of the graphics driver is to download the current version of the program from the manufacturer's official website. Turn on your computer and open your internet browser.
Step 2
Visit the websites www.ati.com, www.nvidia.ru or www.asus.com. The choice of resource depends on the model of the used video adapter. Open the Download Center menu and fill in the table provided. Be sure to correctly indicate the series of your video card and its model. Select the operating system you are currently using. Start downloading the programs suggested by the system and wait for this process to complete.
Step 3
Install the downloaded application. Restart your computer and check the settings for the video card. Usually they do not change when installing a new version of the drivers, but you should still make sure of this once again. Check the quality of the video card.
Step 4
If for some reason you could not find a suitable version of drivers on the official website, then download Driver Pack Solution (Sam Drivers). Run it and wait while the procedure for collecting information about the installed hardware is performed.
Step 5
Select the checkboxes related to the video adapter. Click the "Update" button and wait while the program automatically installs the selected file sets. Restart your computer and adjust the settings for your video card. Be sure to create a system restore checkpoint before running Driver Pack Solution. Use the latest utility to avoid installing older drivers.
