How to update your video card driver
Only with the right drivers will your video card work correctly and stably. In principle, when you buy a new computer, drivers are already installed on the video card. But over time, new versions of drivers are released that need to be replaced with old ones. That is, in other words, video card drivers need to be updated from time to time. Before you move on to updating your video card drivers, you need to know your video card model. Today, the most popular video cards are from only two manufacturers, namely GeForce and Radeon. NVidia produces GeForce video cards, and AMD produces Radeon video cards.

First you will need to go to "Device Manager" your computer. You can go to it in different ways, but in any case, the following window will open.
Here you will need to find the item "Video adapters" and click on it. After this, you will see which video cards are installed on your computer.
