How do I update my GPU driver?
I am having a problem with Photoshop and it suggests updating my GPU driver. How do I do that? It is NVIDIA GeForce 9400.

2. Find updated drivers.
When you know the make, model, and driver version of the video adapter on your system, see if there's an update. Go to the card manufacturer's website to look for an update (Windows), or check for an update from Apple (Mac OS). Driver updates include installation instructions with the download, or the instructions are downloaded with the driver.
Note: It's a good idea to back up your system before updating hardware or software.
Windows
Note: Be sure to choose the correct driver. Notebook drivers sometimes have a different name than similar desktop drivers.Mac OS
Click the Apple menu and choose Software Update.
If an update is available for your video adapter, install it.
Note: Nvidia has Mac OS drivers for its Quadro FX 4800 card on its Download Drivers page.

Mac specific CUDA driver page for NVidia.

Even the latest one only supports these cards:
GeForce 600 series:
GTX 680
Quadro series:
K5000 for Mac, K5000, 4000 for Mac
Did the GeForce 9400 come with the Mac as an Apple installed option, or did you upgrade it yourself? If it came from Apple, the drivers should already be installed with OS X and will be used automatically.
Being a Mac Mini that you have listed, there's nothing you can upgrade yourself. Is that the correct Mac, or are you referring to a different model?
Whoops! Sorry, mixed your post up with the person who started the topic. Regardless, the graphics card is fixed in your laptop. The necessary drivers should be part of OS X, already installed and in use. I couldn't guess why Photoshop is saying you need to update a driver.
I have a mac book pro that has AMD Radeon HD 6750M I'm getting the same message from photoshop but cant find the driver for this, any ideas would be wonderful!
So this means there is no update for my Card? Sorry if dumb question but Im not that knowledable on these cards. Actually I have 10.9.1 which I assume is Maverick not Mountain Lion.
Mine is a macbook pro AMD Radeon HD 6750M Im sure it came with the computer. But my photoshop is telling me to update the gpu driver.
