A gpu driver is middleware that operates or controls a particular type of graphics processing unit (GPU) that is attached to a computer. Video hardware can be integrated into the motherboard or the CPU (often called integrated graphics), but most modern desktop motherboards and many laptop motherboards also provide expansion ports to which a graphics card can be connected. An operating system can use an integrated graphics driver, a discrete graphics card driver or both drivers if the computer has both integrated and discrete graphics processors.
