QOTW: How often do you update your graphics card driver?

**HEXUS** · 02-12-2016, 05:31 PM

With new releases arriving at a frantic pace, are you inclined to keep up or sit back?

**bergamot** · 02-12-2016, 05:33 PM

As I haven't played any recently released games I haven't updated the drivers since I installed a new nVidia 960 GTX card a few months back- probably ought to, but it tends to be one of those 'defrosting the freezer' type jobs that get put off for another day...

I update them on and off - I subscribe to the "if its not broke don't fix it" way of driver updates.

I try and keep on top of driver updates but generally will only update if a game I'm playing/want to play has been fixed or performance has been upgraded.

As soon as they're released.

Twice a year.

Usually I upgrade as soon as a new one is released, however with recent issues with some Nvidia drivers I tend to have a quick look on reddit to see what people are saying about them first now.

As soon as they are released!

one or two week after their released so i can see if there is any bugs in them from looking on some of the forums.

**Ttaskmaster** · 02-12-2016, 06:15 PM

Even some of my older games, like Mass Effect, won't actually load up and instead flag that I need to update my drivers... that surprised me!!

I generally see that an update is ready, look in here for a few days to follow the "Nvidia must die" threads and update once people report that whatever was broked & borked is now good to go.

With the recent nVidia bungles and the shady bull honky, I'm on board with CAT; leave well enough alone.

**junior00027** · 02-12-2016, 06:33 PM

As soon as they are released

**nar53** · 02-12-2016, 06:35 PM

Whenever they're released.

**g8ina** · 02-12-2016, 06:36 PM

Not being a gamer, I really dont care, as long as I can edit my images and movies

**HollyDOL** · 02-12-2016, 06:38 PM

As soon as released.

10 years ago > whenever released.

Now, maybe every 6 months or so. If you don`t play a just released game on day one, with a gfx card only released a month ago, then you are unlikely to have problems.
