Ralink merged with mediatek on January 7th 2013, so you will need to download from mediatek support if you are using ralink wireless for the latest drivers. You also can choose to stick with current drivers because updating to the latest drivers only show slight improvement.
Latest Drivers for your graphic is available on Nvidia and Intel site or just run windows automatic updates.
