if its a NVidia/ATI graphic card(dedicated ones) then yes, you need graphic drivers to use its full potential.

Best is to head to amd or nvidia and dl the latest drivers....

For nvidia, when installing, under custom setup, untick geforce experience. Some have said that it is giving problems, so dun install it.

I'm using GeForce Experience and there is no issue with it on my rig. Probably just my luck.

I've seen in 780/770 threads at OCN, many complained abt it.... lol, so, just make use of their findings and didnt install it.

But, it is also a bit useless, in which it just show you what is the optimal settings for each game...

Yup true, but if I'm not wrong ShadowPlay will be inbuilt into the GeForce Experience itself and will not be a separate application.

and there is another use for lazy people like me who is lazy to check for driver updates.

please download from NVidia the latest WHQL drivers. Beta drivers are also ok if you want.

not using NVidia drivers and using the windows basic drivers is like using a bed with the plastic still on. can still use but uncomfortable as hell

If you dont play games then can keep the basic driver. Some drivers from nVidia burn the cards so do your due research.
