Why do I need to update my graphics drivers? - eviltoast

I’ll be playing a game, and then one day it won’t work. After updating my graphics drivers, it works again. But the game didn’t receive an update, so why does it just break?

    Nvidia and AMD both have programs that’ll let you know when you have a driver update. It’ll handle it automatically past you needing to click ‘go’, from what I remember(I haven’t had a Nvidia gpu in a few years.) For AMD it’s called Adrenaline, and for Nvidia it’s Geforce Experience.

    I don’t find that anything but GPUs really need regular driver updates.
