No. Automatic Updates only automatically downloads and installs critical updates to your computer. This includes security holes or crash fixes. Your video card drivers are not considered critical, and therefore you have to tell Windows Update to get and install the drivers for your card. Simply visit http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ and download and install your card s latest drivers.
