Update Drivers for Gaming: Free Scan & Paid Options

  • Thread starter oddparent1

In summary, there is a program called Radarsync that can automatically update drivers for free. However, if you are specifically looking for drivers to improve your gaming experience, you can use the links from Radarsync or go to the manufacturer's website to find the latest versions. Some of the drivers can also be found on Windows Update. If you have an Asus EN8600GT, you can download the drivers from the links provided.

I found a program that can automatically update your drivers. Put you have to pay for it. It includes a free scan though. I need update for the following drivers:

I'd really appreciate if you could post links from where I can download latest versions, or if you have Driver Detective you could give me registration number. Thanks in advance.

Edit: I'm mostly interested in drivers that would improve gaming experience.

You can get the links from Radarsync

I don't have a registration for driver detective, but you can use Radarsync to get the links. It's a freeware that does the same thing as driver detective (it also finds software updates), but it gives you the links to download the files for free.
Also, if the scan with the RadarSync software doesn't turn up the same updates, the company's website also has lists of drivers and you can look yours up there to get the links. Just google 'RadarSync' and you'll find it.

I found that program, but after the scan it gives me an error "Illegal characters in path." I was clicking "Continue" for few minutes, but the error kept popping up.

Just go to the manufactures websites.
Drivers are usually found under support.

Most of the ones you list are www.Intel.com and most should be in the chipset driver package except for the lan driver (pro/100) which I think is a separate download.
You'll need your mother board model (this may be listed on one of the bios screens).

To get current version numbers
RightClick->MyComputer; Click->Manage; Click->DeviceManager
Locate the driver in the list of all drivers.

The mouse driver may be in windows update.
