    How to get the latest Driver


    I was wondering how to get the latest driver for my Nvidia GeForce GT 710 graphics card. I've got onto Device Manager and clicked update driver, which it did. But the driver date is 2021, surely there must be a newer driver available.
    I went onto the Nvidia website to do a driver search, but when selecting an operating system from the dropdown box Windows 10 is strangely not in the list. Is there another way to access a newer driver?How to get the latest Driver-capture.jpg

    That is a pretty old graphics card. A driver date of 2021 is not surprising to me.

    You could always download the Nvidia GeForce Experience app at the Nvidia website. That will keep your drivers up to date and current. You still may find that the driver date is older. Keep in mind if you use device manager to update your graphics drivers, it uses the last vetted WHQL driver that MS has tested, which may not be current. Nvidia may have a more current driver.

    I had the computer built in 2018, so that was when the graphics card was installed, but I guess in computer terms 2018 is classed as rather old.
    I'm pretty sure I had GeForce Experience installed but I don't seem to have it now, so I went to download it and run the Installer, and was soon presented with the message in the screenshot below.
    So it would seem there are no new driver updates for this graphics card, so is there a way to know if I have the most up to date driver?

    You do not need the GeForce Experience App, pointless bloat. Forget about that.

    You have the latest driver already 472.12, there are others but just security fixes the latest being 474.64

    The Card is too old for any more, but at least you still get security fixes.

    OK great thanks, that has answered my queries. At least I now know where to go to find the latest security fixes/drivers. Thanks to all those that have offered help.

    I found a driver on the NVidia site for your GPU and Windows 10 as below:
