It's been a while since I've used a Windows system, but I've just had a new gaming PC delivered. It has a Asus STRIX 980 ti card and Windows 10 Pro installed.

Currently, it has the standard Nvidia drivers installed and the GeForce Experience software. Is it better to have the Asus drivers and management software installed for this card? What are the benefits of either approach?

Thank you for any assistance.

No. Asus is just a Board partner. They don't make any drivers.

I would stick with Nvidia Experience and let it update on its own.

GeForce Experience is worth it purely for managing game settings IMO.

I would use the latest drivers, which means either GeForce Experience update (I do it this way), direct from Nvidia's website or Win update for best results.

Thank you, all. It's been a while since I've had a gaming PC, so your advice has been really useful.
