Aspire VN7-792G Should I update the graphics card?

Hello,

I have a question about my laptop with dual graphics. I'm having difficulties with one particular game and after deprecating all other solutions I came here. I have a game that has awful screen tearing. After forcing v-sync and triple buffering it didn't resolve the issue. Then I dug deeper and found out that I have newer drivers than Acer offers on its website for my laptop.

I have Nvidia GeForce GTX 960m and an Intel card, both have newer drivers. Is it OK that I have newer drivers than Acer supports? Might this cause issues when playing games? Should I revert back to original factory drivers and disable Windows Update and GeForce Experience from updating them?

Any help regarding this issue is very much appreciated.

nope, older drivers like Acer's one can give issues on newer games, so using drivers from nvidia or intel is ok.

about tearing, search on google if someone else is having the same issue with that game; keep it mind that newer drivers/fix from nvidia (if aware) can solve your issue.

Thank you for your fast reply!

It's good to know that it's better to have newer drivers. About the game issue - I have been fixing the game the whole day to no avail. Right now I'm downloading another game to see if it too has a screen tearing issue.
