Today we’ll talk about how to install the driver on the video card. Although a similar topic has been raised more than once in printed educational publications and on the pages of various forums and sites, it is still in demand. The reason for this is the reduction in the cost of computing systems.
The fact is that many people, having bought their first home computer, are faced with issues that for users with experience seem elementary. One of them is how to install the driver on the video card. In this article, we will try to comprehensively answer it, clarifying the main points. But first, a little theory.In any computer (we do not consider servers and remotely controlled systems), a video card is necessarily installed. Structurally, this device can be represented by a separate small PCB board, with soldered microcircuits, electronic elements and a comb of sliding contacts, through which it is connected to the connector on the motherboard. This solution is called discrete.
Its opposite is the video adapter built into the central processor (chipset). This became possible due to the improvement of the manufacturing process of controlled keys - transistors, and the placement of several devices at once on a single chip chip. In order to figure out how to install the driver on the video card, this difference can be ignored, since the principle of operation of both solutions is the same.

You can update the "firewood" on the video card through the service of the operating system. To do this, in "Start - Control Panel - Update" you must enable the download of non-core files.
