    Windows update just installed a new update for my ATI X1300 card,yet I can't seem to find out what that update was, and I'd like to know, since the last time Windows updated my gfx card it caused all sorts of problems with BSOD (On Vista).

    Any one able to find out what this update was, since I can't seem to find it on the ATI website.

    its probably an update made by windows then, probably fixes some bugs in vista to make the graphics card work faster.

    I wouldn't worry about it if your card works fine.

    or it could have been that they distributed the drivers for the manufacturer seeing how average people don't go to manufacturer's websites to update the drivers. also, if you think of it, operation systems come w/ drivers, so they may be making drivers for common hardware used with MS software.
