Is it important to install drivers from the manufactors website?
I've just completely wiped my HDDs and started over. I've installed Windows 8.1 and everything seems to be working fine. Through the years, this is the point where I would download all kinds of drivers from Realtek, AMD, Intel, etc. but what's the point? Will I see a major performance increase? Doesn't Windows download the neccesary drivers for you through Windows Update?
