Windows 10: Graphics on games not working.

I was about to play Overwatch but I found that the graphics were terrible. I could honestly see the individual pixels, plus my frame rate just dropped. I first thought it was just overwatch but then found that all 3d games were like this. I tried finding a solution, thinking it was my BIOS settings but when I tried to get in it wouldn't show on my screen. I pressed F2 and delete, but neither helped. I do think this is probably the solution but I can't get it to show. Can anybody help?

  card and select Update Driver.

• If Windows doesn't find a new driver, you can try looking for one on the device manufacturer's website and follow their instructions.

If these steps don't work, try reinstalling the driver:
