The video card is the “holy of holies” for many modern users, since the performance of the computer in the latest game blockbusters depends on its characteristics . Yes, and many programs of recent years to a large extent use its resources to free up the power of the central processor.
It is not surprising that many are wondering how to update the video driver on their computer. This is due to the fact that a new version of the driver often adds performance to the entire system, eliminating old errors in the code. First, consider how to install a new version of the program, if you recently turned out to be the owner of an equally new video card.Using the installation disk

To update the video driver, just run it. Previously, it was universally advised to delete the old version before installing a more recent version, but today it is not necessary to do this: as a rule, the “Installation Wizard” will perform all the required actions.
If there is no suitable driver version
Alas, this also happens. There are cases when users who are not too happy in their hands have a computer of almost double release, whose video card manufacturer is already unrealistic to find. In these cases, we can only rely on the Windows Update service.
How to run it? Of course, you can just try to perform a standard search for updates, but in our case the situation is more delicate. For the normal passage of the process, you must right-click on “My Computer”, and then select “Properties” in the list that opens., « ». «». – ! , . NVidia , ATI . , «» .

The best of them is rightfully considered the AIDA64 Extreme Edition program. How to determine with its help the manufacturer and model of the video card? All this is not difficult to do. After starting, open the "GPU" section, from which you can find out all the necessary information about your own video adapter.
The list will include not only the model of the graphic professor and manufacturer, but also the detailed characteristics of the RAM on the board, the manufacturing process and other information.Another similar program is SiSoftware Sandra. It has been known since the "prehistoric" times, contains information about thousands of models of the most diverse computer hardware. After its launch, look for the item “Video adapter” in the list, which also contains detailed information about your equipment.
The only drawback of the applications described above is that they are all paid. But only with their help it is really possible to update the video driver on a laptop when you do not even know its model.
