| SLIMDRIVER |
Step by Step process:
Step: 1
Step: 2
Now open the Slimdriver from windows start button and click on START SCAN the software will check the hardware components and it will search for the latest hardware drivers from the manufactures website
 |
| step 2 |
Step: 3
Now the SlimDriver will list the all available hardware updates according to the hardware category now click on download update corresponding to each driver update the Slimdriver will automatically download the update from the official site
it is preferred to create a restore point( a dialogue box will appear) and then reboot your system after installing hardware update.
SlimDriver will be a very hand tool for those who use laptops ,where there is need to update WiFi,Bluetooth , Graphic , USB , webcams drivers it is the leading software tool under update category in CNET , Brothersoft , Softonic and many other sites .It is a free tool so our recommendation is to give it a try and see the result.
The application is called “Ubuntu AMD Catalyst install” and only works for Ubuntu systems, but it provides a service that AMD failed to offer all these years.
“If you like to update your AMD Catalyst Proprietary Display Drivers to the latest release, or would like to try the latest AMD Catalyst BETA Drivers, this application is for you.”
“Looking for a reliable consistent way to update my AMD / ATi graphics drivers on multiple Ubuntu machines. I decided to write my own GUI installation program to do the job,” says the developer on the official website.
The application detects your architecture, the hardware, downloads the drivers, and installs them without any hassle. Users can even choose to get the latest Beta.
You can download Ubuntu AMD Catalyst Driver Install 3.3 right now

Driver support for graphics cards can be a major stumbling block for would-be Linux gamers. Since fewer people use Linux (and most games are created with Windows in mind), driver support for the operating system can be a bit, well, hit-or-miss.
AMD
AMD has actually been pretty active in the Linux community in recent memory, though its open-source Linux drivers still lag behind its Windows drivers. Just a few months back, the company released a massive set of 165 kernel patches that enabled some key features in Linux Radeon drivers, such as dynamic power management and initial support for the "Sea Islands" family of GPUs.
AMD's holding a GPU showcase in Hawaii on Wednesday. A new series of graphics cards are almost certainly going to be the stars of the show, but corporate VP Raja Koduri said there will also be news concerning Linux driver support, according to AnandTech. The AMD GPU showcase is expected to start around the same time that Valve unveils its second Steam-related announcement for the week.
Nvidia
Nvidia's relationship with Linux has been a bit more, shall we say, tense.
In July 2012, after a woman at a group chat session described her frustrations trying to use Nvidia's power-saving Optimus technology, Linux creator Linus Torvalds launched into an expletive-riddled tirade.
"Nvidia has been the single worst company we've dealt with," he said, before turning towards the video camera and extending his middle finger. "Nvidia... F*** you!" he hissed, uttering the words slowly and sharply.
To be fair, Nvidia does a decent job of supplying basic (or better!) Linux drivers for its latest graphics cards, and the company took issue with the remarks. Nvidia's drivers, however, are closed source, and unlike AMD, it hasn't traditionally offered open source drivers or documentation, which doesn't sit well with fanatical Linux lovers.
That changed on Monday--the same day SteamOS was announced.
That day, Nvidia's Andy Ritger messaged members of Noveau--the group that reverse-engineers Nvidia's closed-source Linux drivers to create an open-source alternative--and said Nvidia developers working on the closed-sourced Linux GPU drivers will start paying attention to the Noveau mailing group, offering assistance when possible. Additionally, Ritger said Nvidia will provide more official help.
