so, i'm not sure how to do this. board is Gigabyte GA-A75M-UD2H, which is stuffed full of AMD chipsets. but when i plugged in my (old + new) graphics cards, they were nVid so i blew away most traces of AMD's control fusion thing.

anyways, computer runs fine, but drivers are whatever they were 2 years ago when i set up the system. but if i'd want to update chipset drivers, how can i do that without messing up any of my nVid layer? i once tried to install the latest version of AMD control fusion whatever, but had idiotic errors when actually trying to install updated drivers through it.

is there a way to update drivers manually? or am i looking at a re-install of Win7, especially once i upgrade my graphics cards to newer nVid / AMD stuff? there isn't anything inherently wrong or unstable with my system that i can see, but my thinking is that maybe updated drives tweak minor things that i'd appreciate without really knowing they were a problem in the first place...
 
You should be able to load all the latest versions of your MB drivers from the Gigabyte web site. The AMD web site will have drivers too. Just turn off the integrated video if you are not using it to free up some memory. You can leave it on if you want to hook up another monitor (most MBs.)

Get the latest Nvidea drivers from the Nvidea web site.

No need to reload windows.

yes, i did. downloaded the various driver files, but once i unzip them to their executable files, the exe launches that AMD control fusion thing which then goes into error-land.

but maybe there's something that i can download from there that i simply haven't noticed? maybe i should be looking for a different file type / extension?
