An added bonus is that many drivers can be downloaded free of charge- allowing rapid adoption of new devices.Īmongst video drivers & graphics software is the ATI Radeon 9250 display card, which can deliver powerful 3D graphics across two monitors, and is fully compatible with DirectX 9. Modems, USB cameras and photo software for digital photography also require drivers. Translating commands from a variety of devices with video controllers using joystick software is an application of this technology.

Drivers form the interface between external devices such as printers and keyboards, and work in conjunction with the operating system, when a new device requires a new driver to be loaded on to the computer.
