483751 2006-09-10 12:17:00 Ok, well we all know that updating display drivers can be good for games, but will it make any difference( picture quality)?? for example: watching music vids on you tube, media player or useing cam on msn/yahoo etc...

I always new about gaming, but never really thought about it for other things i mentioned above.


thanks all :)

483753 2006-09-10 23:55:00 Doubt it. Traditionally updating vid drivers is to ensure compatibility with modern applications, be it games or anything else, and ensuring performance in graphics intensive applications, eg games, is up to speed. It won't affect picture quality in games, or for movies. Greg (193)

True.

But I guess every little bit counts :)

483756 2006-09-11 20:06:00 I don't think updating the drivers will make any difference to web surfing and word etc, but for games that use the 3D clock, it does, also ensures compatibility as Greg said.

I think that unless you are using the 3D clock (gaming and 3D apps) on the card there is no need to update the drivers unless there is a major problem with them...

Thanks for your input:) I didn't think it would make all that much difference(unless game side), i guess it was something I just thought of the other day, so thought i would post and see if it would or not, plus in case other people might have been wondering and just never posted.
