Driver Genius Professional is a driver management tool that will find and update outdated drivers on your PC. Driver Genius Professional can also back-up and restore your drivers - particularly helpful in case of a system crash or when upgrading to a new operating system. With just a few clicks of your mouse Driver Genius will analyze the drivers on your PC and recommend updates from a database containing over 600,000 drivers.
The database contains drivers for the vast majority of hardware devices such as motherboards, video cards, sound cards, network cards, modems, monitors, mice, keyboards, digital cameras, video capture cards etc. Driver updates can be obtained from the manufacturer at no cost but they can be difficult to locate for your exact device or model. When you download and run the free scan you will be able to see which drivers are outdated. If you wish to automatically update your drivers with Driver Genius you must register the product for a one-time charge of $29.95 USD.
Every Driver Genius purchase is backed by our full 30-day money back guarantee. Download the free trial to see if you have outdated drivers on your PC.
Driver Genius scans your PC for out-of-date drivers and updates them automatically or on demand. You can schedule scans, back up and restore drivers, monitor hardware, and even boost your system's performance for gameplay. Pros Back up and restore: Driver Genius can back up and restore drivers automatically. It's no substitute for a full system backup, but it might be able to restore missing or corrupted drivers without requiring a major system rollback. Hardware monitoring: The Options dialog's Monitoring tab includes basic but welcome temperature monitoring and alerts for CPU, graphics cards, and hard drives. Game Booster: The bundled Game Booster can temporarily optimize PC resources for gaming performance and return it to normal settings when you're done. Cons Scan only: The trial version of Driver Genius will scan your system and (probably) find out-of-date drivers.
But to update them, you must buy the software, so you really can't try out the trial. False positives: Some of the drivers that Driver Genius flagged for updates were already up-to-date, including our chipset and graphics drivers.
Bottom Line If the idea of updating your PC drivers manually doesn't appeal, Driver Genius' automatic features and support options are very welcome. However, not being able to try the software first is a real drawback.
