Hi, this is starting to annoy me now- I've looked at loads of websites and I can't find an update for my drivers that I need to play a few games on my pc.

How to update video card driver?

i want to play this mmorpg game but it keeps reminding me to update my video card driver and i have no idea how to. how do i do this?|||First, you need to find out what kind of video card you have. This can be found in the hardware section of the Control Panel.

Once you have the video card model, go to the GPU manufacturer site (either AMD or Nvidia).

There is a "download" section where you can get the drivers for free.

Hope this helps.

Good Luck.

Hey how do i update my video card drivers for my Dell latitude D620?

nough said,

windows xp btw|||Only from Dell support site directly, because Dell hardware will not work with regular drivers, so get them from DELL directly.



Here is a link, you do the rest.

(thank you for not copy pasting my answer)|||Go to http://www.support.dell.com and click on download driver and look the drivers up by the model number and installed operating system and installed hardware/devises and click download.

Here are all the drivers for your lap top by model number and OS:

http://support.dell.com/support/download…|||You can use the drivers directly from nvidia, but they are beta (might have some bugs in them). So if the dell drivers do not work, you can give these a try.

How can I reinstall/update my video card drivers for free? PLEASE READ DETAILS BEFORE ANSWERING IMPORTANT!?

I downloaded Second Life and when I try to play it says: Error Second Life is unable to run because your video card drivers did not install properly, are out of date, or are unsupported hardware. Please make sure that you have the latest video card drivers and if you don't have the latest try reinstalling them. I have tried scanning and I have around 33% of out of date drivers and every time I try updating them I have to pay. I need to REINSTALL/UPDATE my Video Card Drivers for FREE! I use Windows Vista, Satelite, Intel that's all the info I think is important, please make sure the information you give is EASY TO UNDERSTAND because I'm kinda young.|||Go to DEVICE MANAGER and update each component, do not do UPDATE FROM COMPUTER, because you do not have the drivers necessary, but choose the option that lets you update automatically from the Internet. That's how I've always done it.|||You did not give any information on your computer or your video board. Make and model please.



You should not be using any driver upgrade software. It is garbage and is usually wrong. It messes up a lot of computers. Waste of money.



Once you post your make and model of computer on this question you can get more help.



Drivers are always free from video card maker.|||It depends on how old your video card is. Most companies aren't making Vista drivers for old hardware. If this is the case you may find open source drivers online that will work.

Can i Update my Video Card Driver (Desktop)?

Allright here's the Story, I got this computer for FREE from my girlfriends parents. She works at an office and it was custom built for their company, It currently has the Intel(R) G33/G31 Express Chipset Family. So, my question, is that i was looking to upgrade to a new Video card, but i do NOT know what type of Video card slot my computer may have, if it even has one at all. Or if i can simply replace the current Chipset, but with what kind of video card. I realised that there is PCI, AGP, and PCI-Express. So im wondering if at all possible i would be able to replace this current card i have for something better. Im looking for a Gaming card, and i would like to know how to get ANY specs you guys need. Thank you.|||ok if you open up your computer you will see that it doesn't have a graphics card at all. the graphics chip that it is using is integrated. look at the empty slots and you can tell if it's AGP, PCI, or Pci-Express.



Pci-express is the best one. it is also the longest one and could be recognized by looking at the locking mechanism at the end of the slot.



If you dont plan on replacing the power supply, then look for the best graphics card that doesnt need extra power recognizable by no power slots on the side of it|||There is no such thing as a 'gaming card' Just graphics card. The computer will have a slot for it, yes. Open up the computer and the motherboard should have a make and model written on it. Google the make and model so say it is an Asus m2n sli deluxe then google 'Asus m2n sli deluxe spec' and it will tell you what it is. If it is less than 3/4 years old and it is pci, then chances are it will have pci & pci-e. Or it will be an AGP. Failing that, take it to a computer shop and ask them to tell you what it is. They can't charge you for something like that

That would be Intel's website. The same update should be available on your computer manufacturer's website, such as Dell or HP.



But likely that won't resolve your issue. I suspect your video card does not meet the hardware requirements to play Minecraft. In that case you would need to upgrade to a new video card, and it will be up to you to determine whether this is worth the cost, or if it's time to upgrade to a new computer. If you have a laptop it's almost certain that your video card is integrated into the manufacturer's proprietary motherboard and cannot be swapped for an upgraded model as would be possible in a desktop computer where the video card and motherboard are usually separate components.

A driver is a program that describes what a particular device can do and lists how the computer can communicate with that device. Without a driver, the computer wouldn't be able to use it at all.



Driver updates are released when the hardware manufacturer finds a problem with the driver. A graphics card is an incredibly complex piece of hardware- it's basically a several hundred-core computer by itself. So every now and again, people notice a problem that only appears under specific circumstances (usually it's something that a game developer does, not that you do).

How would I go about updating my driver? Is it something I have to buy, or do I download it on the Intel website? I tried to download it, but everything kept saying that my computer didn't meet the "minimal requirements" for the download.

Though, I have a Windows 7 Home Premium, 64-bit version, and I got the download for that.. :/|||You don't have the minimal requirements because that's not your video card driver. You must download drivers for your video card (you could have NVIDIA), which you didn't say. If you want to know your video card download GPU-Z (link below), when download has finish and installed, open the gpu-z.exe file and there is lots of info of your GPU (graphic card) and also the name of your graphic card. Then you can install the right drivers for your video card. HD Graphics 2000 higher means you must have a graphic card that is higher than an "HD 2000" (its not the driver version its the GPU Hardware).



So if you have an ATI higher then "HD 2000" your OK. If not, you have to buy a new graphic card for your PC. If you want to play Portal 2 only, get an "HD 4350" It will be the cheapest.





Also if you have an NVIDIA GeForce 7600 or higher, your OK. If not, you must also buy a better video card. the "9800GTX+" will be the cheapest and it will run very good for that game.



Hope I helped ;)|||here is the software that can help you download the video card driver to the newest version which correspond with your computer and absolutely safe. Good luck!

You should really go to manufacturers website to update. Also found this site for all dell driver updates. Not sure if this is any use but worth a try.



Good luck|||Check for what video card you have (I'm assuming yours is ATI) by going to Run then type in: dxdiag - click on Display and it should be there.

How do I update my video card driver on Windows XP?

I have a NVIDIA Geforce FX 5200 with 128 MB and I want a GeForce FX 5900 or higher. Can someone tell me exactly where to get this and how? I went to the NVIDIA site but I was confused and didn't know what version I was updating. o.0|||the fx 5900 is a different card. updating the driver wont make it a 5900 (unless im horribly mistaken which im pretty sure im not)

ok, the best advice i can give you is GET A NEW VIDEO CARD.

the fx 5200 is very outdated. i have one in an old rig i lend to friends to LAN with. It is a rubbish card by todays standards using outdated technology.

What exactly do you want to use the card for?

If its gaming then you will definitely need a new card, otherwise the one you have will be fine.

So, to sum it up: you cant change the card by downloading drivers. to get an fx 5900 you will have to buy one. If you are planning to use the card for gaming or something, get new one.|||Go to Nvidia's site, and download the latest drivers. Once downloaded, just launch the executable and follow the instructions.



Updating your drivers does NOT give you a new card. The card is defined by the chip on the card, not by the software that controls it.|||http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us

go to that site, select your video card / and operating system, and download the lastest driver

How do i update my video card drivers?

i would like to update my video card drivers because a program wont run.



how would i do this?



thanks in advance :)|||Make/model of the card would have helped!



Look in device manager..



You will need to be logged on as an administrator in order to do this.



Open Device Manager, click Start, and then click Control Panel. Double-click System. On the Hardware tab, click Device Manager.



Try rolling back/updating the driver (right click). If that fails or you don't have one to roll back - look on the manufacturer's site for the correct, updated, drivers for your OS/graphics card.



To install the drivers, unzip the downloaded file, double click 'Setup' and follow any prompts then re-start (turn off, then on).



© arou42|||Follow these steps:



Identify the make and model of your video card (you can do this in the display properties)

Visit the website for the video card manufacturer (probably NVidia or ATi or Intel)

Download the latest driver package from the support pages

Uninstall the current drivers

Reboot the PC

Install the latest drivers downloaded previously

Reboot

Done



If you want more detailed info you should post the version of Windows you are running.|||ROFLCOPTER!

How do i update the video card driver on my computer?

I need to update my video card driver, but how do i do this. Any help would be appreciated.|||Ok, it sounds like you don't know what your video card is. I'm going to assume you are using Windows XP. If you are using Windows Vista then you probably shouldn't update your card unless you really need to as Vista has problems with hardware updates. Here are some instructions for you if you have Windows XP or similar.



1. Find out what driver you have. Right click on your desktop and select properties. Click on the Settings tab. Your video card is listed here - it should say something like 1. [something] Monitor on [your video card here].

2. If you are on a desktop computer, type your video card's name into google and try to get to the manufacturer's site. If you have a laptop/notebook computer, then you probably need to go to your laptop's manufacturer's site instead.

3. On the website of the video card manufacturer or laptop manufacturer, navigate to downloads/driver updates and see if you can locate your video card/laptop model. Once you find it, download the update.

4. If your update has a setup program, run that and it should guide you through the installation. If it does not: Go to Start > Control Panel > System and click on the Hardware tab. Click device manager. Click the little plus beside Display adapters. Your video card will be listed there, right-click on it and select Update Driver. The wizard will guide you through the update.



Be very careful that you install the correct driver update! If you have a problem after installing the new update, rollback the driver. To do this, navigate to the Device Manager (see step 4) and instead of clicking Update Driver, select Properties. Click the driver tab then select Rollback Driver.



Good luck! I'm updating my own video card tonight.|||Find out the manufacturer of the video card and the model. Go to the manufaturers website and download the driver there....



Good luck.|||Go to the vendeor's website and search for your video cards drives. The site will have instructions on how to install it.|||get your video driver card name or product nubmer and goto google.com and ask for the update for drivers.
