FAQ

Do you really need a driver updater?

Technically, you don’t need a driver updater because it’s possible to update your drivers manually. However, it’s important to update your drivers, as outdated drivers can impact your Window PC’s performance, speed, and cause sound and graphical issues. The main benefit of a driver updater is that it makes it far easier to find and replace outdated drivers.

Why choose Avast Driver Updater?

Avast Driver Updater is one of the best Windows driver updater software. We can scan for and download 5 million different drivers, that will let you update graphics drivers, update audio drivers, and more. Avast is also one of the world’s biggest and most trusted cybersecurity brands, which means we ensure our software meets only the highest standards in both security and performance.

How do I check for driver updates?

Checking for outdated drivers manually is a fairly complicated process. To update drivers on a Windows PC:

Open up your start menu
Type “Device Manager”. Click Device Manager.
Here you’ll see a list of all the different device categories on your device. Click the arrow next to one category to see all the devices.
Right-click the device and click Update Driver.
On the next screen, you’ll want to click Search automatically for updated driver software.
Repeat steps 1-5 for every device and driver on your PC.

Alternatively, you can automate this process by using Avast Driver Updater, which does all the work for you in the background.

Can updating drivers cause any problems?

Can updating drivers cause any problems? Updating drivers can cause problems in two situations:

You try to update a driver manually and you don’t know what you’re doing. This is particularly likely if you try to manually update a driver with the wrong update, circumventing Microsoft’s own automatic driver search detailed in question three.
If the manufacturer of the driver accidentally released a flawed update for their driver that introduces more problems than it fixes, or has other unforeseen bugs and incompatibilities.

Does updating drivers increase FPS?

It’s not impossible that updating your GPU’s driver will improve your frames per second (FPS), but any improvement will likely be small, and unlikely to vastly improve your gaming or your PC’s performance. This is because drivers generally fix issues and bugs, and device performance is largely dependent on hardware.

So while Avast Driver Updater can help, if you really want to improve your FPS, we suggest overclocking your GPU.
