Question for the gamers...

Do you update your video card drivers? Updating them may improve performance and at times necessary but I hear some people who had problems after updating drivers.

I'm deciding to install or not right now...

If it works fine as it is then don't. Like you said, it may increase performance by a bit but it may also screw things up (happened to me once).

I always update the video drives on my rig. I look for new ones about 2 times a month. Yes, it can screw up sometimes but it's easy to restore to older driver versions and the chance of a faulty driver being released is slim. Also, it's not always a small performance increase. The latest Nvidia driver incorporated a physics update that allows your GPU to make better physics calculations when playing a game increasing performance by a lot because it lightens the CPU's load. If you have SLI, i suggest u get this if you didn't already.
