What is the role of a video card and its driver?

A piece of hardware that helps a computer screen display images and videos is known as a video card or video adapter or video controller or display card / adapter. This piece of hardware contains the necessary memory space, as well as the circuits that display photos and other visual graphics on our computer screen. The software program that executes this hardware according to the written syntax is called Video Card Driver. The video card driver translates common graphics into digital addresses, resulting in clearer images and graphics on our computer screen.

This component is an essential part of the motherboard of the computer, therefore it comes easily installed and, in general, its drivers are available in all operating systems, that is, whatever operating system you have installed on your PC, the relevant video card drivers will automatically capture the component and let it run smoothly. But hardware manufacturers frequently update drivers in their efforts to improve their component by eliminating errors or faults. This is one of the situations where you need to install an updated driver in order for your PC to run smoothly.

The need to replace the driver will also arise whenever you decide to replace your computer’s operating system. For example, if you’re replacing Windows with Vista, you may need to replace your video card driver, and the hardware manufacturer’s website is the best place to find it, if you don’t have a compact disc that came with your hardware.

If manufacturers go out of business (in rare case), you can search the internet for the best driver. Several directories will have the driver for the video card you want. Find the driver that matches your hardware model, as well as the operating system you have on your PC. But remember, you need to scan the downloaded driver for viruses before installing it on your computer.

In this way, you can install the updated driver and ensure a better and / or better performance of your computer.
