[SOLVED] ASUS GPU drivers vs Nvidia GPU drivers

[thepersonwithaface45]

Noob question probably, but what is the benefit of downloading and installing Asus TUF 3080 drivers?
Are these any different than the nvidia drivers?
Should I install the Asus drivers first, and then install the nvidia drivers via geforce?
Or do I only need one set from one brand?
I was initially going to install asus drivers then install the nvidia ones, but now I have questions!
Any help much appreciated.

The drivers on ASUS website are the same as Nvidia except usually out of date. Just download the latest Nvidia drivers from here https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/drivers/.

Also when you install them if you check the advanced installation it will allow you to do a clean installation (it will remove all previous drivers and settings) as well as allowing you to choose what is being installed. I never install Geforce Experience as I find the software clunky and the fact you have to make an account with Nvidia to use it annoying and dumb.

Okay thanks, I see.
I'll just go with nvidias drivers then. Wasn't sure if asus had some weird drivers specific to the OC TUF Card that I needed.
And I like geforce experience because of the one click optimization, tends to work well for newer titles imho
