Question Should I reinstall drivers?

[spardason]

Hello! I recently upgraded my pc from an i5 3570k to a ryzen 2400g (a budget build) I obviously changed the board and the ram is DDR4 now, the only two things i ketp were the hardrive and the graphic card, a 1060 gtx, so my question is...should i reinstall the drivers for the GPU? or is ok if i leave them and it will work the same?

You should completely reinstall Windows that's a big change and will almost certainly improve performance

When you changed motherboard, windows also installed what it thought were the appropriate drivers.
But, windows does not always install the latest nvidia drivers.
I think I would download and install the latest nvidia drivers directly from the nvidia web site.
You might want to do a custom install, omitting features that you do not use like physics, 3d, sound, or GeForce experience which can be intrusive.

Oh i always do that, i mean, downloading and installing the latest drivers directly from Nvidia website, but i always went with the express install, simply because i dont know what is needed and what is not, if you tell me what i can skip besides physics, 3d, sound, or GeForce experience, i would really appreciate it

There are no other options to disable.
When you select custom install, you will get a list of all the options.
There are two options on 3d, disable them both unless you have a 3d monitor.
I keep HD sound so I can power the speakers on my monitor in the event that my motherboard sound system fails.
