[Tut] Increasing Hardware Performance [Tut] - Ramsay448 - Dec 7, 2010
I'm pretty sure someone out there has thought to do this before, but i'll post anyway.
This is a great way to improve what you get out of your Computers Internals, Desktop or Laptop.
Simply Upgrade the Drivers for your chosen Hardware. For example, I chose my Wifi Adapter, as it is the most drastic change.

As the Image says, do not update using the 'Update Driver' Button. You will not get any new drivers. Instead, go to the Producers Website Support page, and find your Drivers, along with other things (BIOS Flashes, Audio, Display, etc.)

Thanks ✌

It is really simple and i think it is much easier to do it manually. Depending on your O/S (i assume you are using windows as O/S) either if you have WinXP click Start->Run... and type dxdiag or on Windows 7 just type dxdiag on the search bar which you see when you open up start menu. Then go to Display tab and you will see your GPU's name. Just google (Name of your graphics card) drivers and you will find a download link to it usually from manufacters site. Manufactuers site is usually the best option to download the latest driver from, but you can download it somewhere else if you find a site that you trust and it seems to be the right one. I highly recommend the manufactuers site because it will atleast work, if not even improve the performance. I hope this helped you.
OP: Thanks for sharing, and very weird that your post got reported because if that is all you posted, as far as i can understand it, there is nothing harmful. I did knew this but it's always great to see that member contribute.
Cheers,

* - J4mmy - Dec 8, 2010
It's a short-term of words Graphical Performance Unit = Graphics card. Did you find out what is the name of it? If so just post it here and i'll give you download link.
