o Largest comprehensive database in the industry

* New Database Design - Our newly redesigned database is the largest, most comprehensive database in the industry.

Thanks for sharing. But is updating the driver really necessary when the old one is working fine? I mean, why touch something that is running smoothly.

I think it is for use when your driver is not working in windows.

PS: Also in linux by having latest graphics driver I get most out my devices like inbuilt graphic cards as I get software rendering of things like vertex shader which my graphic card does not support hardware wise but I get them by software .Also latest drivers increase my FPS( frame rate per second count). I think similarly in windows you might get better performance.

Is driver magician freeware? I mean does it search and install drivers as well, Because driver detective only searches for driver and for making driver detective to install driver it demands MONEY.

Most of the drivers are free, but some require payment.

Drivers are usually free from manufacturer websites. Even DriverGuide.com gives them for free.
