Manufacturer's graphics driver or Nvidia driver?

[Lou3]

What are the pros and cons of the card manufacturer's graphics driver and nvidia's driver? In my case, the card is an Asus.

If it's just the driver we are talking about then you should download the latest version from the manufacturer. Just look for the WHQL as it will not be a BETA driver.
Personally, I never go with the drivers that comes with the card itself.

With laptops, go with the laptop manufacturer's video driver. With desktops, either go with the motherboard driver, if you are using on-board video, or the 3rd party video cards chipset driver. I have an MSI Nvidia video card. I get my video driver updates directly from Nvidia's website. Like Ziad, I never use the supplied driver CD

Thanks for the replies.

Tmagic, why do you go directly to nvidia, instead of MSI? That was my question. I have an ASUS video card and have been going directly to nvidia. I'm wondering if there would be any benefit to going with ASUS' latest driver instead.

I have always gone to the chipset creators site for drivers... They work the best, and they keep the drivers much more current
