Why update the video card (GPU) driver?

The video card or GPU driver allows the operating system and software applications to use the computer's graphics hardware. For optimal graphics performance, it is recommended that the video card (GPU) drivers are updated.

On Windows operating systems, graphics or video card drivers must be installed from the Dell Drivers & Downloads website or through Windows Update.

Updating the video card drivers often helps resolve video or graphics-related issues like flickering, fuzzy image, blurry image, low graphics performance while gaming, jittery video, choppy video while playing games, and so on.

Dell engineers test and validate the video card drivers available on the Dell Drivers & Downloads website. These graphics or video card drivers are tested for the most stable versions available to ensure that they do not cause video (graphics) issues on your Dell computer.

Note: Video card manufacturers like Intel, NVIDIA, or AMD frequently release new video card drivers that often provide performance improvements, particularly for gaming. However, these drivers are not tested or validated by Dell. Dell does not recommend downloading and installing drivers from the GPU manufacturers website.

Updating the video card (GPU) driver

Video card or GPU drivers have a version number. You can easily determine if the driver is outdated by comparing the version numbers. Video card drivers must be updated by downloading and installing the latest drivers through:

  • Windows Updates - Some device drivers get updated through Windows Update. On Microsoft Windows 11 and Windows 10, Windows Update automatically downloads and installs the latest drivers available for you. In Windows Update, install the recommended hardware driver updates to ensure optimal performance.
  • Dell Drivers & Downloads - Dell Drivers & Downloads website allows you to download hardware drivers, firmware, and other Dell utilities. To learn more, see the Dell knowledge-base article: Drivers & Downloads FAQs.
