Hello!

I have a confession to make - in the 1 and a half years since I built my computer, I have never updated the graphics drivers.

I need to update them due to a problem with Microsoft Flight Simulator X: Steam Edition. The game always crashes on launch, and I think it's probably due to my old drivers.

Here's some information about my system:

CPU - Intel Core i3 3240
GPU - Asus R7 260X DirectCUII OC
RAM - 2 x 4GB Corsair Vengeance LP @ 1333MHz (Due to motherboard)
Motherboard - MSI H61-M P20 (G3)
OS - Windows 8.1

If you could tell me how to update my drivers, I would be very grateful. I have no idea how to it, so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Thanks for the reply!

I already downloaded the installer for the latest version (14.4) because AMD Gaming Evolved always tells me that I need to update my drivers. I clicked the link that it gave, and downloaded the installer. Do I just run that, even with the current drivers still installed?

Thanks for the reply!

How can I check what version I have (without using the detection software)?

Quick question - will I need to uninstall the old drivers after installing the new ones?
