GPU/MOBO Drivers Install After Format

[Rapid1999]

Hello guys i need help.So i want to buy this Mobo: Asrock B450M and this CPU :Ryzen 1700 and i dont know what drivers i should download.I checked Asrock's site and they have a AMD all in 1 with VGA driver ver:18.10.20_NHDA option.

Should i download this?Its about 750mb.Does this file contain LAN/Audio etc?Also i have GTX 1060 and i dont know how to download its drivers.All i know is how o update them using Geforce Experience.

 

Btw sorry for bad English i live in Greece.

well, hello there. I recommend to download all drivers for the mobo, including bios. the gpu drivers you can find on nvidia's website. I would recommend downloading them there, and not on the card designers website (gigabyte, msi, asus). But I'm not that familiair with asrock boards in general.

Ok i downloaded the drivers from Asrock's website and it i saved it as a Zip file.Is there anything else i should do now?When i format my HDD all i'll have to do is to Drag and Drop them to my desktop and install them ?

well, unzip it of course. but I would recommend to download it when you have it, so you don't have to install a newer one just after you installed it

well. build logs is the right place for that. I recently posted my work build there for example. with some crappy huawei p8 lite photo's, but it had photo's. and you can see many other projects there
