How To Update Drivers?

How to update laptop's display drivers when the manufacturer never does?

  • I have a 2 year old Toshiba with an awful integrated intel graphics card. In absolutely every video game I get lag. I know that one of the best solutions would be to install new graphic card drivers, and that is what I tried, however, the official Toshiba driver site only has drivers for 2010, which I already have. I researched more and found out that "intel" itself makes those drivers and publishes them in their own site. I have downloaded them, however, the installer refused to work, stating that my laptop is made by Toshiba and I must install drivers only from the Toshiba site. But they NEVER update! I'm pretty sure the drivers from intel site would work, but I need to fool the installer that my laptop isn't made by Toshiba... Any suggestions would be welcome, 2 year of lag does make a gamer sad...

Laptops were never designed for high end gaming. That's the realm of the desktop. As for driver updates, just go the the computer manufacturer's web site and download the latest graphics driver. Computer manufacturers do not automatically release updates like Microsoft does. That's the job of the computer owner.

there is nothing you can do software wise to get your laptop up to standard regarding games. It would be best if you would rather buy a new notebook. You will never ba satisfied with that one again.

Sorry but despite the once-in-a-blue-moon actual driver affecting game performance, the usual driver updates are for tweaks to the drivers to make a (slightly) better graphics performance or fix a situation such as "When I open WoW, Microsoft Word, and a certain website all at the same time, my video card gives me a BSOD". And unless you have a laptop built for gaming performance, you won't get a whole lot of performance out of a built-in graphices card. Anyway, good luck with it.
