I'm wondering what drivers I should download directly from Asus and what drives I should just let windows handle.

So far I've only downloaded bios update, Nvidia GPU driver and Samsung NVME driver. Also, do I need to install Samsung Magician for any reason?

There's a slew of drivers and I'm not entirely sure what all I need. I'm not a fan of drivers with software bundled. So I'm looking for just basic drivers, not looking to have junk running in background / tray.


You want the your chipset driver, management engine and video card drivers at the minimum. The rest can be handled by windows.

Yup, those are the ones. They will get rid of all the yellow question marks in device manager.
