Windows 7 Generic Drivers vs Manufacturer?

I just installed Win 7 RTM, and all my drivers are working, is there any benefit to installing the manufacturer driver. For example, should I install the video card driver?|||If you can get a Windows 7 specific driver from the manufacturer, then you should, especially if you have x64 and they offer an x64 driver. The advantage is that you know that you'll have a driver written for your specific hardware in your specific OS. The generic one may have some significant deficiencies...



_|||The video driver from the manufacturer might give you more resolution and software options, but if you are happy with what you have, you don't need to install it at all.|||Hey,



Some drivers MUST be installed from the manufacturer website



However, some drivers are native with win 7



I think there is not any benefit if you install them from the manufacturer website, except the required ones



Cheers
