All you need to do is to follow the installation instructions on
nVidia's website.

Hi kamlesh
The only way I know is to see if the games goes any better - have the fps in
creased or not.
Also right click on My Comp/Properties/Hardware/Device Manager/ click on
Display adaptors/opens up to show your GPU i.e nVidia 5200/right click on
this to get to properties/click on properties/click on driver and there you
have the current info
OR
Start/run/type in dxdiag/ok/wait for window to load/click on display/there
you have it.
