How Often Do You Update Your Drivers?

[Franklin_4]

For Cpu?
For GPU?
Mobo?

Do you guys bother with other drivers?

Do you wait until theres a problem to check? or do you do it weekly or something?>

cpu and motherboard drivers rarely get updated, I do not bother to check.
On graphics, I avoid the automated update apps. I like to know when such things are done.
If I have a problem, then I update. Or, if I have little to do I will get around to it.

On the motherboard, I try not to update the Bios unless there is an issue that the update will fix.

I typically only update GPU drivers when a new game comes out that basically needs an optimized driver, so maybe once every three months or so.

Thanks guys. Im very new to pc (mac owners since 88) and i need to know: am i neglecting any other types
Of drivers
Or did i hit the main ones?

You got the main ones. Unless you have a brand new motherboard, you typically won't see many motherboard driver updates, and honestly, I wouldn't touch those if nothing is wrong. GPU drivers are typically the ones that see the most updates, but unless you are playing a new title that needs optimizations, I typically leave the GPU driver alone and update every six months. Less hassle and chance of running into a driver bug.
