GPU drivers are essential for every computer to allow the graphics cards to function properly. Sometimes, an optimized GPU driver can not only reduce bug crashes, but improve gaming performance. Recently, NVIDIA released their latest GeForce driver and claimed to increase performance in PUBG by up to 7%.
