Tips for Safe Driver Updates

  • Always download from official sources. Avoid third-party driver websites, as they may provide outdated or malicious software.

  • Check your GPU model. Use tools like dxdiag on Windows or lspci on Linux to confirm your GPU model before downloading.

  • Create a restore point. Before updating, set a system restore point in case the new driver causes issues.

  • Update regularly. Most vendors release new drivers monthly or quarterly, especially alongside major game or OS updates.
