One quick question since nobody wants to answer my other post.Do chipset drivers actually improve performance.Someone told me this:
“Chipset drivers shouldn’t be touched no, those are the drivers for your motherboard. Unless you are installing some new hardware like a new cpu or gpu that requires a higher version of your motherboard then you will need to update it. In this case no don’t touch it your computer is already operating fine.”
So what do you guys get from that?
 
No.Fortnite’s new update was about Xbox performance and pc performance.And that you need DirectX11 to run fortnite.I was having problems like 4 days before the update.And like I have said.I dont know 98.99 % of my drivers.So if I reset the pc I might have a lot of missing drivers.Wich sucks for me.And how could this pc be having problems.Its just 3 months old

Fair enough. Make sure Win10 is updated. Check device manager for the list of devices. If there aren't any explanation marks !, then all drives are installed.
 
Inwas using something called Nsudo to disable things that ran in the backround not needed.And I am pretty sure it disabled updates.I can update but its taking ages.It started with “Pending” Then with “Waiting for Installation”Then “Downloading” and now “Installing”And they never take this long.

Like I have been saying this whole time.I have been paranoid of reseting this pc.Im 99% sure I will miss most drivers and make my pc worse


No lol, most if not all those drivers Win10 has them covered. Nothing to worry about 😀 !

If anything, ANYTHING 😀 you need to worry about is the chipset and lan driver from the motherboard's website. But since Win10 is newer than your system, i wouldn't worry about them either.

Geforce drivers is the only driver you'll need to install.

But to make things easier, here are the drivers for your motherboard. Just select which Windows and youll get a list of drivers.

 
Still updating.Started at 8:17pm its 9:26 pm for me rn.More than an hour already.Its moving tho

If it's making progress we'll see. Taking a long time though.

Back to drivers again, in the list given by Asus, ignore bios, vga, utilities, bios utilities. The main drivers are Chipset, Lan, Audio and Sata. That's if Windows 10 doesn't install those but think it will. In any case should you need the Lan driver for the internet to work, that'll be the most important as you can grab the rest later. Again, Win10 will probably have no trouble installing everything itself.
