It is not uncommon to wonder how to install a graphics card driver, and to install it correctly, since different driver versions are intended for different graphics cards. If you install the wrong driver on your graphics card, many errors and even a black screen may appear.

To install the graphics card driver correctly, you must first correctly identify the version of your graphics card. Typically, on laptops, the graphics card version can be found either in the technical documents or on a sticker near the keyboard. Let's say you have an nVidia GeForce GT 730M graphics card.

If you have a desktop computer and need to find out what graphics card you have, you need to do the following:
  • Open "My Computer", then right-click on the white background and click "Properties"
  • Find "Device Manager" and open this dialog box or menu
  • In the open dialog box, find "Display adapters", expand this item and see the number and names of graphics cards installed on your PC. In my case, the graphics card is: NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT.
