Updating video drivers

I have a few questions about video drivers.
First off, is it best to have the newest video drivers available, or should you just update them when it's necessary?
Do the old drivers have to be uninstalled before upgrading to the newest drivers?
How do I go about doing that? It's been a while since I have messed with these things and I am a bit rusty.
I would appreciate any help on this matter.
Thanks
Mike

Bring it, tough guy!
Thanks for the answer bro. I am having a little glitch between missions on Delta Force: Task Force Dagger and I believe it is because of the 'no-cd' executable I added to the program folder. No big deal really, I was just wondering if I maybe needed to upgrade my video drivers, but since this game is older now and is made by "NoLogic" (Nova Logic) then it probably has nothing to do with my video drivers.
PS What part of CA is Bonz moving to?

Updating video drivers in Boot Camp

I recently installed Windows 7 on my 24" '08 iMac (3.06 dual core with Nvidia 8800GS) using Boot Camp 3.0. Everything is working quite nicely but I'm wondering if I can get updated Nvidia drivers directly from Nvidia's site for their 8800 series of cards.
In the Windows driver update update it says I'm up to date and the Nvidia system utility says that newer drivers aren't available. There are more up to date drivers, however, and I'm wondering if there's any issue downloading new drivers from Nvidia and installing them? Has anyone had experience with this?

The guide on drivers heaven tells you all you need to know, disable the UAC in vista and reboot. Download the ATI driver package which is now 8.6, extract the package and then cancel the install. Use the mod tool and then navigate to the ATI folder and double click setup. It should run perfectly and all is well, I did it the other day with my iMac which has the ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT chip. The simple way to say what the mod tool does is that it changes the driver to recognise the apple signature on the chip.

How to correctly update video chip drivers

I am currently using Boot Camp with Windows 7 64 Bit on my MBP Early 2011. My question is how can you successfully update the video chip drivers when using windows 7? When I try to install drivers the AMD updater can not recognize my video card. But my games have made it clear that I am not running the most recent drivers

You realize this has been asked 100s of times, right?
Don't use Auto-detect. Download the driver. Unzip. Uninstall Apple gpu driver. Run Driver Sweeper 3.x maybe.
You may be able to install. If not, use Device Manager to update and find the driver you unzipped.
There are links or bookmarks to threads in my profile: bookmarks for AMD.

How to update video drivers in Windows?

I just bought the new MBP this morning. I began crashing while playing Warhammer and it seems like it could be a driver issue. I tried installing two different drivers from laptopvideo2go.com but both of them made me immediately bluescreen whenever trying to boot into Windows. I had to rollback the driver both times.
When trying to use the official Nvidia site to detect whether I had the latest drivers, it told me to go check my manufacturer's site for drivers. I've been looking for a long time and can't seem to find anything.

I would recommend checking the tips and forum on laptop2go, and use Driver Sweeper (and tips for how to uninstall, delete, and update drivers) or review the tips if you are doing that already.

Nvidia starts offering mobile GPU drivers directly
Getting driver updates for desktop graphics cards is usually pretty easy: head to the GPU maker's website, grab the latest driver release, and you're set. That procedure often doesn't work with mobile GPUs, since users have to rely on laptop makers to provide driver updates—something that doesn't always happen in a timely manner.
Nvidia has attempted to change the formula by releasing a set of beta ForceWare drivers for GeForce 8M, 9M, and Quadro NVS mobile graphics processors. The release is available right now for Windows Vista x86, Windows Vista x64, Windows XP x86, and Windows XP x64, but Nvidia warns that the drivers won't work with Dell Vostro, Lenovo ThinkPad, and Sony VAIO notebooks, along with laptops that use Hybrid SLI technology. A set of completed, non-beta drivers will be out in early 2009.

How do i update bootcamp drivers

Can you update Video Drivers from Nvidia?

Hello,
I have an iMac 27-inch, late 2012 model with a built in Nvidia GTX - 660M 512 MB video card. Is it possible to use the Nvidia driver update for this build in card or should I only use Apple's video driver update? I'm sure there have been updates from Nvidia, but I haven't had a Apple update for at lease six months. I'm not having any problems, but like to keep current on drivers.
Thanks,
Dennis

In OS X, Apple provides GPU driver updates with every OS X update, so you don't have to worry about the driver. If you have Windows installed with Boot Camp, then you can install the most recent NVIDIA driver from the NVIDIA site > http://www.nvidia.com
Note that GPU drivers don't come as individual drivers, but they come with OS X updates. For example, updates like 10.8.5 or Mavericks may come with updated drivers

How to install latest video drivers on Bootcamp?

Currently running bootcamp on Windows 7 Ultimate using Bootcamp 4.0. The video driver that I need is the latest driver for the Nvidia 9600M GT. My software updates (Apple) on Windows 7 state that I have available updates. It's not possible with this graphics card to install the latest driver through Nvidia's website the easy way due to it stating I need to contact my manufacturer. This is a dangerous loop, and I know my driver is old for my GPU because my driver says it's from 1/19/2011. In addition to that, the games that I play on Windows 7 also state that my drivers are out of date.
Thanks!
Zach

Have posted this over and over again. TAKE A LOOK.
You have to install Apple chipset to enable the device. Can't see it. Nviidia won't auto detect a Mac ever, unless you have a PCIe card you install of course and easy to swap out (Mac Pro tower).
After you install Apple BC drivers, guess what? uninstall the nvidia device driver adn program and use Driver Sweeper 3.2 to deep clean, and may as well run CCleaner 3.x as well (Registry tool also).
Same for audio but that goes a lot easier (Realtek or Cirrus drivers).

How do you update video format?

I downloaded several movies from itunes - tried to upload them to my ipod and error message came up stating could not be downloaded because my ipod does not support the video format, can i update my ipod? I have downloaded other movies with no problems.

(From iTunes Help)
If you can’t sync a video
If iTunes tells you that a video wasn’t synced because it can’t be played on your device, you can convert it to a version that’s optimized for your device.
You can convert most videos to work with iPod, iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV.
Convert a video
In iTunes, select the video you want to convert.
Do one of the following:
Choose File > Create New Version > Create iPod or iPhone Version.
Choose File > Create New Version > Create iPad or Apple TV Version.
Converting a video can take several minutes to several hours, depending on your computer and the length and content of the video.
The original video remains in your iTunes library.

How do I Update Video Podcast Episode?

I uploaded a new m4v file and updated my xml feed file with the new file name and a new release date/time. I kept the title the same (see http://feeds.thesailingchannel.com/TheSailingChannel | the C Cushions episode). My feed url reflects the change but the subscription doesn't update in iTunes (even when I force a manual update). I currently have the orginal episode in my library. I'm wondering: do I have to delete the original episode before itunes will update? Should I also change the title of the updated episode in my xml file? I want all current subscribers to get the update, so having a user delete the current version first is not an option. Suggestions?

Having problem with hp computer freezing up and rebooting? have already updated video drivers

I having problem with HP Slimline Desktop with AMD Vision, freezing up and rebooting, and will sometimes show horiztonal lines across the screen, making screen unreadable. Have had problem for a few weeks, I have already checked with HP tools hard drive and video display both check out, and have I restored the system back to its orginal version by using partion drive and, none seems to help get rid of the freezing and rebooting of PC. Any thought what need to look at?

Can you locate a product number on the system that is freezing??

HT1338 how do I update the drivers on my Macbook Air to enable me to use my broadband dongle?

I have repeatedly tried to install my BB dongle to my MB Air with no success. One of my mates thinks it may be a driver issue and I should download the drivers for the dongle from the apple site. Anyone have any ideas?

Whatever drivers you require for your broadband dongle will not originate from Apple. Check its manufacturer's website.

How to Correctly update Macbook Pro's video chip drivers

I am currently using Boot Camp with Windows 7 64 Bit on my MBP Early 2011. My question is how can you successfully update the video chip drivers when using windows 7? When I try to install drivers the AMD updater can not recognize my video card. But my games have made it clear that I am not running the most recent drivers

fmurry925, unfortunately, the "normal" way of updating video drivers doesn't apply to Boot Camp installations. For some reason, Apple uses a slightly customized video chip in MBP (ie mine is an nVidia 320M, which doesn't exist in any non-Apple computer. Well, there's one.)
This means that the standard nVidia driver set doesn't recognize this chip. And I suspect it's the same for your computer. So you're stuck with using the drivers available from Apple, which are updated much less frequently than the generic drivers.
There are workarounds for this, consisting of "modding" your INF to allow the generic drivers to work for you. But I did some searching, and it seems that your particular chip, which is "switchable" between the Radeon and the Intel graphics, doesn't have a modded INF available. Yet. So, unless someone else knows of a solution, you might be stuck with the Apple-supplied drivers for a while.
