Yes after a clean install you will have to use the drivers found in your eSuppot folder if you didn't delete them? If you did there will be some programs you can't get back! the rest of the driver can be downloaded from Asus Support Downloads if that is up and running again Asus Support downloads server has been unavailable for a while now so good luck. Make sure you log in and top Right corner click the Account link that will bring you to your Asus Account where on the left column you will see a link to my products. Select your Registered notebook and then Download driver select your Windows version Install the drivers listed there. They are tested and approved to work in your particular notebook. That should get you back up and running until the next windows update. Seems Windows thinks we should use there native hardware drivers and they just don't work well for us, There are ways to prevent driver updates but that is another thread. https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/48277-enable-disable-driver-updates-windows-update-windows-10-a....
The Nvidia driver will not be the latest version you should use that one until everything else is up and running with no issues. then after making a back up Image of your C: Partition or entire C Drive/ SSD, then you can try the latest Nvidia drivers. I suggest Macrium Reflect for back up images.
Instead of Clean Installing to your new SSD you should have Cloned the hard drive to the SSD or Restored a Backup Disk/SSD Image, Clean install these days is the last chance effort to be avoided if at all possible.

I have a G550jk and after a while I wanted to make a clean startup and used the oportunity to replace my original HDD with an SSD.
The thing is, games actually ran much better before the cleanup and switch to SSD.
Naturally laptop is faster and games load faster, however graphical performance is slower on all games I used to play. I have a few examples, I used to be able to play

SSD w/ windows 10

I believe I managed to fix the issue.
It seems it had to do with one of the two things:
I downloaded every single intel and realtek/audio related drivers even the ones that seemed irrelevant or redundant, and I installed all of them.
Second step was I then disabled Audio Enhancements in windows 10.
Bam, laptop seems to be back to the previous gaming performance.
