Updating your Video card driver

This may have been posted once but I have not seen it posted anywhere. And some people may already know about this but I thought it was worth posting for any one that was not aware of this.
As most people know updating the driver for your video card can be a daunting task as you do not know if the latest driver will work with you card or GPU
GEFORCE came out with a program called GFORCE EXPERIENCE that makes updating you driver a simple task. You no longer have to worry about will this driver work for my card and do I really need it? This program takes all of the guess work out of it. It will only install the correct driver for your system. Here is the link http://www.geforce.com/geforce-experience/download
The only thing you have to watch out for is if you use the default install option it will install a 3D driver for your card now this will by no means harm or interfere with how your card works but unless you have a 3D monitor 7you really do not need this driver. So I use the custom install option and just do not install the 3D drivers. But like I said if you do install the 3D drivers it will not effect your system in any way. I just figure why install a driver that I do not really need.
Now mind you this program will only work for cards that use a GFORCE GPU it is not meant for any other card like RADON for example
