      So that I can play Stardew Valley at highest FPS possible of course.

      Joking aside, I have encountered problems with graphics card driver, specifically in Apex Legends (it took them ages to fix crashing mid-match with NVIDIA problem) and AC Valhalla (there was a slight gain in FPS, though it might have been a placebo). Also, the first thing I usually do when experiencing some lag is updating the drivers. It doesn’t always help, but sometimes it does.

      And I simply don’t like the state of devices when there’s anything to update — it may be Windows, iOS, Android updates, or apps updates, or drivers updates, or Node.js package updates. That’s a me problem, and in case of Node updating usually brings more problems than it solves, but it just feels better when everything is on the latest version.

        i remember back when i used windows, every time i updated the nvidia driver it brought a new problem. like a specific game wouldn’t work or hdmi audio got lost, and i never saw any positive gain in performance. so i always used the one good driver that was over 2 years old before i went full penquin
