Not in my opinion. Windows update on Win10 does good work. You can use motherboards utilities and GPUs utilities. Also utilities for many peripherals check their updates regularly if so selected. Overall, GPU driver is only one you actually should keep up to date (if you play new games, otherwise its not needed). Rest rarely are needed unless you are experiencing problems.

Hey zoro1989,

 

The best program is DriverGenius. It is only on Windows but it allows the following:

 

  • Entire system scanning for the most up-to-date and compatible driver updates for everything on your system (even GPUs).
  • Entire system driver backups and restores.
  • Deletes old and broken drivers.
  • Shows complete system information.

 

And more. Now depending on where you are located it is only in US dollars and it is a bit steep, but well worth it.

Thank you.

 

Sincerely,

 

JTAG

 

 

I got 30-day license, and it looks like its decent.

Thanks for suggestion
