PREDATOR Firmware / driver updates

Dear all,

I hope you guys are doing great. I must say that I cannot complain of the performance provided by Predator. However, I'm quite disapointed with the Predator team reaction to new drivers/ firmwares. It appears that nothing is published on the official website for years now. E.g. my BIOS Date: 2018/11/08 Version:1.16 Vendor: Acer Size: 7.2 MB. It dates from 11/ 2018. Despite the fact that sometimes, there is no need to fix any bug, security flaws are discovered quite often and Acer/ Predator, appears to completely leave it aside. Another example, the Killer Network driver. The version published by Predator was so **** buggy that I had to go the the official killer site to download the latest version to fix the issues I had (crashes). For me, this shows a lack of responsibility towards their clients and I'm pretty sure I will not make the same mistake again.

Please share your thoughts and opinions!

Thank you

It would be interesting if you published the model of the notebook. Example AN515-51-75KZ.

No manufacturer optimizes drivers as soon as they are released by vendors, be it intel, nvidia, amd and realtek. Has no way. What they do is take just a few versions of the drivers and optimize it to your liking. But that does not prevent the user from going to the websites of intel, nvidia, amd and realtek and updating the drivers on their own. Regarding bios, version 1.16 is the most current. If your notebook has no problems, there is no need to update the bios. Furthermore, it is a risky procedure.
