Graphics Driver for Windows 32 & 64 bit

Pros

• Improves the performance and rendering of both 32 and 64 bit Windows systems
• Decreases computer lag by lessening burden on the OS
• Completely free to install and use right away
• Doesn't require new physical components be installed

Cons

• Doesn't work for machines older than Windows 7

The Graphics Driver for Windows (32 and 64 bit) is a Windows-specific application that allows users access to an enhanced graphical component for their machine.

For those who don't know, a graphics driver is a program that communicates with the operating system. When working with visual inputs, the OS will port commands to the graphic driver, which will work to render specific softwares, the monitor, and other programs. For instance, Photoshop, movies, media, and graphics intensive games will all need to extensively request information from the graphics driver to run appropriately.

This is not to be confused with a graphics card, which is a physical component that is directly inserted into the computer. The graphics card controls and enhances how the computer renders visual inputs. Often, this component is constructed directly into the motherboard.

Without a dedicated graphics card for the Windows machine, the computer will likely render visual information much less clearly and more slowly. In most cases, the machine will default to a standardized VESA driver with a low aspect resolution (800 x 600). The graphics card is referred to as firmware, whereas the graphics driver is purely software.

That said, this graphics driver is an application that will boost the speed and look of any application that requires heavy visual rendering. It works for both 32 and 64 bit processors in virtually any Windows machine; however, it's recommended the user opts for the newest updates.

If you're not sure whether your machine the is 32 or 64 bit, make sure to check out the informational sticker on the back of your motherboard or bottom of your laptop. The key difference between the two systems is that 32-bit machines work with limited RAM (usually 4GB), while 64-bit systems are capable of using much more.

Once you've got the graphics driver installed, you'll immediately notice a distinct difference in quality and visual output. Graphics drivers are well known to create a richer, more detailed gaming experience and increase computer performance over all.

Since the Windows operating system doesn't have to handle a high workload of visual data, freeing it up for other, more important on-disk operations. The Graphics card does not depend on the CPU, or central processing unit, to properly function -- rather, it can perform all its own graphics-related processing and behavior.

You'll witness a positive difference in the rendering of 3D applications and softwares, such as SketchUp, Photoshop, and more. Additionally, the graphics driver will create a much better video and HD experience.

Overall, there's no going wrong with this free graphics driver application.
