As a computer user, you will eventually want to update your graphics drivers. While we typically recommend against updating drivers unless you have a specific reason to do so, graphics driver updates are often released to improve performance or fix bugs with newly released games.
What is a graphics driver and what does it do for your computer system?
A graphics driver is a piece of software that allows your computer to communicate with your graphics card. This communication is critical in order for your computer to be able to display images on your monitor.
Your graphics card is responsible for rendering the image that you see on your screen. In order for it to do this, it needs to be able to translate the information that it receives from your computer into a language that it can understand. The graphics driver is responsible for translating this information.
Updating drivers
There are two ways to update your graphics drivers: you can manually update them, or you can automate the process.
Manual updates require that you download the latest driver version from the manufacturer’s website and install it on your computer. Automated updates are handled by a piece of software called a driver updater. A driver updater will automatically scan your computer for outdated drivers and then replace them with the latest version.
Updating your graphics drivers can improve your computer’s performance and fix issues with newly released games. If you are having problems with your graphics card, it is always a good idea to update your drivers.
