Get a laptop/PC on with internet. Use Google to search your brand's name and find the website.
Search for your model. The website will provide drivers for their cards in their download sections.
Download the drivers. After the drivers have been downloaded, run the program and it should automatically install the drivers.

Method 2 of 2:

Install manually if the automatic installation doesn't work.
Download the driver software, as listed in the first method. This is the hard part: you must locate the folder of display drivers in the driver software you just downloaded.
1. If the software you download is an application, right click and extract it using WinRAR.
Go to device manager, right click your graphic card, and click on update.
Search manually through your computer to find the driver's .inf file.
Select the file. This should force install your graphic card's drivers.
