What is the use of updating computer drivers such as video cards?

can somebody answer this thanks|||Nice question. To start with, remember that computer drivers are just pieces of software, just like the flash plug-in you most probably have in your internet browser. Now, if you have flash player 7 plug-in and you go to some websites now, you would be told to update your flash player to at least version 9. why, because the flash content was designed in such a way that it interacts with version 9. You get my point?

In the same way, computer drivers relate with hardware, your video card driver interacts with your video card. Now, two uses:

1. Updating drivers fixes bugs in the previous versions and improve performance.

2. If an application using the hardware was designed to interact with version, say 2.0, of your driver and you have version 1.0, then the application might not work well, at best.

That's theoretical, of course. Updating may be hell if the driver providers have not done a good homework. Also manner of updating matters. But that's for another day.|||they upgrade your system and give you better performance. they also support the latest softwares which ur oldeer once sometimes does not.|||these are suppose to fix the bugs in the installed driver and adding one or two features... but if you are not facing any problem don't go for it.|||They give your computer more stability and performance and compatibility.
