If the system being used for mod testing is pre-built, for example, an off-the-shelf computer under a brand name such as HP, ACER, or ASUS a program is usually included that assists in vendor specific driver updates. If this is the case, it is important to use this program since many off-the-shelf computers have drivers specifically designed for their hardware devices, rather than generic drivers. Consult the manual or the manufacturer's website for more information on how to do this on specific off-the-shelf computers. The exception to this is usually graphic card drivers. The latest drivers for these cards should normally be obtained from the card manufacturer's website (AMD or Nvidia). | If the system being used for mod testing is pre-built, for example, an off-the-shelf computer under a brand name such as HP, ACER, or ASUS a program is usually included that assists in vendor specific driver updates.

If the system is custom built, then there are several excellent programs to assist with driver updates. One great tool is [http://www.driver-soft.com/ Driver Genius]. This program will download an up-to-date list of drivers for almost all hardware devices, scan the system using that list, and specify which drivers need to be updated. The free version will do all of this except download and install the drivers; however, users can manually search the web for the drivers using the summary the program provides. '''It is not recommended to allow this program to update your graphics drivers. This is best done manually by downloading them | If the system is custom built, then there are several excellent programs to assist with driver updates.
