OEM vs generic drivers

[djdelarosa25]

Where do you download your laptop's drivers, from the OEM (Dell, Lenovo, HP, etc.) or the generic ones (NVIDIA, AMD, Intel)? Specifically audio, chipset, graphics, Wi-Fi/Bluetooth, and Intel stuff such as Management Engine and Rapid Storage Technology,

nvidia and AMD don't have generic drivers, they offer the most up to date graphics drivers so they're always the best.

 

as for network and stuff, yeah that all comes from the laptop manufacturer.

I was pertaining to OEM graphics drivers like the one's on Dell's website vs the generic ones from the component manufacturer's website. But I get your point. Thanks.
