[SOLVED] Should you update your graphics card drivers every time they update?

[Jacob 51]

I got a GT 1030 and I update the drivers whenever GeForce Experience gives me the notification. I install using the express settings.
Is it fine to keep updating it or should I stick to the driver that gives me more performance?

It's a coin flip. Half would say to use the latest. Others (like me) would say, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Well with such a weak card (no offence some is better than none) updating would be ideal as every lil bit of performance you might gain helps. If you find performance drops then roll back to the previous driver.

To my understanding, the worst thing newer driver might (EDIT: usually) do is to cause problems or break compatibility with some older games long forgotten for most, gaming wise.

There's little to gain and not much to lose, as long as the driver is correctly installed.

Well its an awesome card for me, runs battlefield 1 at 1080p 60fps low and cod ww2 too at 60 fps. That is all I want

As the Wolf said, if it ain't broke dont fix it. I have a much older GPU (GTX 770). I recently installed the most up to date drivers and got BSOD pretty much every few minutes. PC was unusable. Switched to an older driver, no problems whatsoever. Go with what works for you.

On the other hand, I have an rx 6600xt card, and I think the only drivers out for it are optional aka beta drivers. So in that case, when they come out with a recommended driver it would probably be worth to install. For the most part with nvidia cards I had few issues though.
