Is there any software that can check automatically for driver updates? It'll have to check for everything including NVIDIA, Intel, Realtek etc. I don't mind if I have to pay for it as long as it isn't over a $100.
Thanks in advance,

DriverMax - free driver updates
A Guy gave me the above about 8 weeks ago. Works great.
Free version gives you 2 downloads per day. Took me a couple of weeks to get everything but I was in no hurry.
They have a 30 day pay version that isn't too bad- $10.
Plus a 1 year and 2 year.
WarningUse at your own risk. Use the manufacturers website to find drivers first.
I had no problems.
A Guy told me he had no problems with it or he would not have recommended it to me.
Reliable so far.
As with any changes to your computer. Make a back up image to restore your system if needed.
I use Windows Backup Imaging and Macrium.
Thank you all. I tried DriverMax but didn't really like it much. I suppose I'll do it manually then. Thanks anyway, guys. :)
I would just get the driver manually from the manufacturers Websites. That way theres no chance of error.
Also, remember if you have the latest Nvidia driver, it will automatically check for updates from the official site on its own.
So should be no need there.
if you're still looking for an automated solution, have a look at SlimDrivers.
it's free and comes with no crapware attached - you do have to register to use it on your first driver download though. the registration process is quick and easy.
one thing to watch out for is that it auto-launches on windows startup by default - i think it does this to help with scheduling - this behaviour is easily disabled in the program's options.
