How to improve desktop graphics performance?

Hi Kiuru,

The appearance of your computer's display can be influenced by several factors. The monitor you use and its settings, how Windows is configured, and how you use your computer can all have an effect on display quality.

You need to look into the driver that is being used for your graphics card. Install the graphics card updates and check.

Drivers are updated occasionally. Windows can update them automatically, or you can install the updated drivers yourself. It's important for you to have confidence in the updated drivers you install. Windows notifies you if it detects a suspicious or unsafe driver you shouldn't install. Check for optional updates also as they might have hardware device related updates.
