Perhaps after the update you need to update your graphics driver.

Well, I'm not too sure how the GPU could affect ping, but I guess anything is possible.

Another thing you might try is opening up console (hitting the `/~ key usually does the trick, if not, you have to enable it under [Options>Keyboard>Advanced] and checking [enable developer console]) and putting in these commands:

rate 20000
or
rate 30000

Higher is used for better connections while a lower number is best for a slower connection.

Then try:
cl_cmdrate 100
cl_updaterate 100

This has fixed my pings and helped my shots register more often.

This is changing the number of times your computer sends and receives data.

I hope this helps!
