Should I stick with the default Acer drivers or the latest available? Acer G3-572.

I have heard for a long time by now that you should always stick with the Acer ones since that will be optimized for your PC and it will be cooler, and efficient.
Especially the chipset and SATA drivers.
But what about the others?
GPUs are the constant pain as I rarely play the latest games and what would work or be the best for my PC is so confusing.
Should I download the latest sound drivers from Realtek?

Good Morning HK1994 !

Some Acer drivers are tested and optimized for the Windows OEM system that comes with the laptop.
This does not stop you from keeping your drivers up to date.
If your device is working perfectly, keep the drivers.
Even because current versions are not always more standardized.
If you find it necessary to update yours, just update.

If what you have works, keep it. I do not update video drivers pretty much more than once or twice a year. And when it comes to things like bluetooth and such, I pretty never update, unless some program or software needs them to be updated.
