  • Answer:

    if it is an NVIDIA card, just check for a folder in your C: drive named NVIDIA. the drivers should be there. for ATI, go here: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx for all other video cards, you will need to go to your computer's manufacturer's website, and go to the downloads or support section to find drivers for your video card... such as "support.dell.com" for DELL, etc.
