Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have noticed that HP Support Assitant is one or two vintages behind in terms of Nvidia Drivers vis-a-vis what is offered directly from Nvidia (I have the GTX 1080).

 

is there any formal benefit of sticking with HP "older" driver? is this some sort of quality control HP Does before including the latest in the HP Download section?

Hi,

 

The NVIDIA drivers listed by HP are those that have been tested with your PC hardware. HP typically uses native NVIDIA drivers although in years back special drivers were needed with some graphics cards and in particular AMD graphics cards.

The newer drivers tend to be better optimized for games.  You should be able to view the driver release notes.  Be sure to review the limitations.

 

What version are you running?

thanks. the HP assitants installed the driver 373.19, Nvidia GeForce Experience has 376.19.

 

I was also curious as I understand this GPU is HP-made or at least made to HP specifications, hence was wondering if I should be biased toward using the drivers available in the HP Assistant.
