My ASUS laptop has Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti graphics card. Should i update graphics drivers from Nvidia (they release new drivers quite often) or should i stick to the older drivers provided by ASUS? I've encountered some issues when using the latest drivers from Nvidia : performance in some of the games (for example Civilization VI) is actually lower than before, and in some other games (Fallout 4 for example) the overall performance seems to be much better, but after a couple hours of playing my laptop would get extremely hot and then everything freezes, the laptop starts making a noise for maybe 5 seconds and after that it restarts itself. It wasn't a case before so i believe it has something to do with the drivers.
So the question is : which drivers should i use?
