How to confirm the display card driver is correct?

Excuse me,
How do I make sure my graphics card driver is optimal?
In addition, how to confirm whether the driver of the display card is the latest version?
The reason is that I run some software will be wrong, suspected is the display card problem.
Thank you！

Follow the wiki.

Update your system.

If you want a more specific answer, you'd have to provide a more specific question. What is your hardware? What driver are you currently using? Have you done anything to configure it? What problems are you actually having?

Sorry, I didn't make myself clear.
1. My computer is

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Skylake GT2 [HD Graphics 520] (rev 07)
	DeviceName:  Onboard IGD
	Subsystem: Device 1991:5595
--
01:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GM108M [GeForce 940MX] (rev a2)
	Subsystem: Device 1991:5595
	Kernel driver in use: nvidia

2.I looked at four wikis: NVIDIA, NVIDIA Optimus, Bumblebee, Intel graphics.
According to my graphics card model installed "nividia" driver.
Follow the instructions to install the appropriate software and test it successfully using

optirun glxspheres64

and

optirun glxspheres32

.

But I still couldn't open the game "FM" properly. Game company's customer service hint I said that possibly is the system or the display card is wrong.
I have updated it with

 pacman-syu

So I was wondering if there was another way to check if my chosen driver was the most appropriate.

couldn't open the game "FM"

So this is an xy-problem.
Please change the title to reflect the actual issue (edit your initial post) and elaborate on what "FM" actually is and how exactly you failed to "open" it "properly" (ie. what you attempted and what happened, error messages etc.)

This is another problem, please help to check:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 4#p1830654

Because that problem was not solved, I got feedback from the game company that there might be a graphics problem, so I thought of checking the graphics driver.

Thank you！
