#DRIVER GENIUS PROFESSIONAL UPDATE DRIVERS#
Windows 8 supplies drivers for all sorts of things. Specifically, it makes the USB controller supply an abnormally high current, and makes the Apple device think it's connected to a Mac. What they do is hack an existing driver and make it do things it wasn't designed to do. AI Charger and ON/OFF Charge are not drivers. and yes I downloaded the Windows 8 version of the driver. If you search the web there are plenty of posts saying it does not work. I had to restore my win 7 system and start over.


Lucky you, I used it as an example for case in point that Win8 does not detect everything no are there always drivers after.Ĭould be some models of boards work some don't. Older versions make Windows 8 unbootable, like you said. I have AI Charger+ working just fine on my Lenovo laptop with Windows 8. Unless you're playing a recent AAA game or are running recent hardware (current gen, max of current -1), having a driver that works well with your games and your hardware is vastly more important than having the latest driver.ĪI Charger+ and Gigabyte's ON/OFF Charge are pretty hackish. Thank goodness I don't bother with current "AAA" games anymore. Now I take the stance, it ain't broke, don't fix it, even with graphics drivers. My cynical nature tells me, they've done next to no testing on this driver on that particular "supported" hardware. Granted this is on XP, but as of this post, Nvidia supposedly released a driver on 2013.01.24 that supports Gefore 6200 cards on XP. Some pretty basic game with 2d graphics started blue screening the PC every time. Updated to the latest drivers, since it was using old as hell drivers. Doing the "update to the latest graphics driver" thing has burned me more than once, with both the red and green team.Įxample: my in-law's computer had a Geforce 6200 card. Since I'm not too concerned with gaming performance anymore - and the games I do run are doubtful to be the focus of the driver developers anyhow - I don't bother updating graphics drivers anymore. I'm positively surprised to learn this is not necessary anymore. Back when I had my last self-built PC, (in the decade before this one ), I remember using stuff like this every time I updated my graphics drivers just to ensure things would be clean.

Don't think there's anything in there one could call "oddball hardware", would you agree?Īre you serious? The AMD Catalyst software can update itself? This may seem funny to some of you, but this is groundbreaking news to me. If youre using fairly recent hardware with a fairly recent. As a general rule, there arent too many drivers to update anymore. So the short answer is: there is really no need for this app. Re: Anyone use Driver Genius Professional Wed 7:40 pm. In that case, lots has changed since 2007! That's excellent news. Mostly the process is seemless that you never really need to worry as long as you let them manage themselves.

They do tend to keep a history in the install folder though. Video drivers you just install the latest app from the vendor (ie Catalyst for AMD) and it will even download the latest version for you if you want. Most drivers are handled through windows update now unless you have some really oddball hardware.
