How do it know?

How do i know if i have the latest drivers for my graphics card? i got it about a year ago and its a x700 ati.

do the drivers for graphics cards change? are new drivers developed?

thanks

Yeah, they bring out new drivers all the time, If it's a slightly older card I would get the Display Drivers only as using the CCC may cause some problems.

7.2 are the newest ones

thanks guys! will this give me better picture clarity etc?

It won't really improve gameplay or anything like it may do, but you'd have to be benchmarking to notice it really.

I wouldn't get the Control Centre though, try the display drivers.

It'll fix things like stability and the ability to play some of the newer games.

Thanks and thanks for the link also stranglehold

downloaded the drivers and about to install em!

the drivers typically include the newest version of opengl, as well

most windows games don't use it, but some screen savers and things do
