    There's no real way to tell if the drivers will help your performance until you try it. I have seen big performance increases just by upgrading to the lastest drivers direct from the video card manufacturer's site (not from the notebook manufacturer). But then again, there's no way to tell how it'll react with your current setup. If you do try it and the drivers don't work, you should be able to revert back to the previous drivers. Under Device Manager, it should give you a Driver Roll-Back option for your video card. This should revert your drivers back to the original Toshiba drivers you had installed. You may also want to take a snapshot of your system, this way you can revert back if it has problems.
