Operating System: Microsoft Windows 8.1 (64-bit)

Is there a difference between the graphics drivers downloaded through Nvidia GeForce Experience or through HP Support Assistant? Their version numbers don't match at all. I'm currently using GeForce Experience to keep my graphics driver updated, but I'm also having trouble with how loud the fan can be when playing games. Didn't realize just how loud it gets. Could it be that the HP-supplied driver is better suited for this laptop?

 

Appreciate any help.

@Kimikaze ,

 

Hello and thank you for posting on the HP support forums.  When going with drivers for any notebook always stick with the manufacturers tools and links.  The reason for this is that the drivers have been designed for that application.  They may use a similar number chip like a GT750 however the chip built for the notebook in most cases have been changed slightly to fit the application.

 

So bottom link use only the HP drivers and tools for your HP notebook.  Direct drivers from the chipset manufacturer may not be the same and cause issues for you.

 

Thank you again for posting and have a great day.

Thanks for the quick reply. I updated the GeForce drivers through HP Support Assistant and didn't notice any improvement as far as fan noise goes. Guess I just gotta live with it. Headphones helps.
