Graphics card driver upgrade diagram detailed tutorial

  
Until today, many people have never upgraded their graphics drivers since they were installed on their computers. Unlike other drivers, the graphics driver actually needs to be updated. The display driver version that comes with the computer, motherboard or graphics card is generally not good. The new version of the driver not only improves the performance but also solves many problems. How should we update the graphics driver? NVIDIA graphics driver update to install the graphics driver is not as difficult as imagined, the easiest way is to go to the official website to download. Take the NVIDIA graphics card as an example. We can use the browser to log in to the official website www.nvidia.cn. There are two options for hovering in the upper left corner driver: GeForce driver and all drivers. Try all the drivers first, here you need to manually find the driver for your product. For example, if we use GTX 460, we will select GeForce, 400 Series (series), GTX 460, and then select the latter two according to the operating system and language, such as select Windows 7 64-bit and Chinese (Simplified), then click the search button. Yes (Figure 1). At this time, the system will automatically recommend the latest version of the WHQL certification official version of the driver, click to download and confirm once you can download. The following trial drivers can find many other drivers that have been released recently (Figure 2). The specific instructions require us to click through to view them. For Internet cafes, NVIDIA also offers special versions like GeForce 334.91 in all drivers. It includes NVIDIA Espresso's self-power saving technology to intelligently and automatically optimize the power consumption of Internet cafes. GeForce Experience hover another option —— GeForce driver, there are three ways to choose from, the first is to automatically maintain your driver through GeForce Experience, this is a new technology optimized by NVIDIA for the game. This includes checking and updating the drivers. Open the GeForce Experience, there is a dedicated driver tab in the upper left corner, select it and check for updates, you can search for the official WHQL driver recommended by NVIDIA (Figure 3). Choosing a different version of the driver Although the GeForce Experience is very convenient, it can only upgrade the latest version of the driver, while other versions of the driver download, you need to manually search for the driver. The basic method is similar to the previous driver click. All you need to be aware of is the option to select a driver version. We can select All (Figure 4). Clicking on the "Start Search" button will display all drivers, including the latest version of the driver, including the BETA Beta driver. In general, NVIDIA graphics cards only install the official version of the driver, but sometimes the official version of the driver has not yet launched, we need the latest version of the new BETA driver features, then you can choose the BETA driver. For example, the R331.93 driver ensures that the user gets the best gaming experience in the game "Sword Spirit", ensuring the highest performance and system stability in all games. At that time, the R332.21 official version of the driver has not yet appeared, users who play "Sword Spirit" can consider downloading this BETA driver. Fully automatic detection for novices Many people will say that I don't know what the model is for this graphics card I use. I don't have GeForce Experience at hand. How do we choose the driver? NVIDIA also provides a way for these users to save the country by automatically detecting your GPU capabilities. Click <;Automatically detect your GPU> button, the system will prompt you to install Java, click on the icon to jump to Oracle's Java installation interface, download the installer and run all the way to the next step (Figure 5, 6). After the installation is complete, it will automatically jump to Oracle's Java verification interface, where we can actually close it directly. Go back to the page that automatically detected your GPU and click the button again. When Windows first uses Java, a dialog box will pop up, prompting you whether you want to call Java for this page. Let's first check if you don't ask again later (check Figure 7). At this time, the website will automatically detect the GPU model according to your hardware, and in a short time will give the best driver recommended by NVIDIA (Figure 8). Is it very convenient? Extended reading ---- how to install the driver? The NVIDIA graphics driver is relatively simple to update. We don't need to add/remove programs to uninstall it and run the new driver directly. Select the custom mode (Figure 9) during the installation, and then select "Clean install", the driver will automatically restore all previous NVIDIA settings to the default settings (Figure 10), very convenient. Summary I believe that through the above text and picture description, everyone knows one thing, that is, updating the graphics card driver is not as difficult as before. After that, we will further introduce you to update AMD graphics cards and even Intel core graphics cards, so stay tuned. This article comes from [System Home] www.xp85.com
