Updating my video card drivers

I can't remember the last time I updated my video card's drivers, and someone suggested that I do that. My card is an ATI Raedon X700, and I found a list of XP drivers for it here. What I'm wondering about is which of these links is actually what I want, and what matters when I look for new drivers like this.

None of them, don't download software updates from 3rd party websites, get them from the original manufacturer, in your case:

Seconded - AMD drivers from AMD, nVidia drivers from nVidia.

The only exception to this is video drivers for laptops which often use proprietary drivers only available from the laptop manufacturer.

thirded - get the official ones from ati or nvidia - much safer for you and your pc and will likely work better too.

Always get official drivers from the official site

This is how i do it:

Uninstall old driver/current driver
Reboot into safe mode
Delete driver folder (for nvidia its simply C:/Nvidia)
Reboot
Install new driver
Reboot

And you can play it even safer by downloading and using DriverSweeper or DriverCleaner and running that while in safemode.

There's no need to uninstall your old graphics driver, if you're just updating it. Although if you change GPU, you better uninstall the driver of the previous one. It will just overwrite it.

Let us know if it worked out for you Shayne .

I beg to differ.
I have always uninstalled before a install.
You can never go wrong with being safe than sorry

But to each his own.
I do things the right way JK mate

Uninstalling the old drivers used to be necessary, but it seems that ATI and nVidia have finally discovered how to "update" drivers without borking them.

Id still rather be safe than sorry.
I dont trust them....hah
