Visit the driver manufacturer's website to obtain the most up-to-date driver.The current driver version is listed in the Driver section. The video card's name and manufacturer are listed in the Device section.After the DirectX Diagnostic Tool loads, select the Display tab.

Some games and programs might run fine on a system with old drivers, but outdated drivers can still create technical issues with specific games or programs.

Even new computers can have out-of-date drivers and operating systems because updates are released routinely.

Out-of-date drivers and operating systems can lead to several issues that can negatively affect game performance. One of the first things you should do when a game is having problems is ensuring that your computer's drivers and operating system are up to date. It might take a century or so, but the point is it will happen with the current trend.I received an error message saying that my video card drivers are out of date. Otherwise, if given enough time, there will be a 1 TB file download.

Still, there’s got to be a better way than downloading actual GB worth of files throughout a year. So, I get why every model card is included. The TestingGames YouTube channel posted a video comparing the same hardware with different versions of drivers from 2017-present, and there’s a small gain from newer drivers. Part of it’s likely raytracing stuff, but I also think it’s because the drivers support every GeForce card all the way back to the 600 series. My file size blunder aside - still can’t believe I did that - I’d really like to know why the drivers installer file keeps getting larger and larger. Currently they fix something for one card, and it breaks something for another.

They really should have at least two branches for drivers these days - ones for the pre-ray tracing cards, and ones for the newer ones. As a side note, 720 GB? Really? Why the heck does each drivers release keep getting closer and closer to the 1 TB file size?īecause Nvidia stubbornly refuses to break off their ray tracing card drivers from the older ones. I just installed it, so I’ll see how it goes. The game-ready desktop version was released a short while ago. Just downloaded, so no go? I'll install my 3080 Ti with 68 then.
