OpenGL drivers are used with the graphics card on your computer. These drivers are used for generic devices that come installed on your Windows system. When your OpenGL drivers are not current, you could start to see a decline in your graphics card's performance. Updating the OpenGL drivers is not something that you need a computer science degree to do. You can easily update your drivers through the Windows Update software.
