    I have a driver updater program (Driver Reviver) and it lists many updates for my drivers.

    I know it is very important to update to the latest nVIDIA Drivers v296.10 as the default Lenovo ones offer horrible performance.
    But what about the following, would you update them?

    Intel Chipset Drivers v9.3.0.1020 (can I update to the latest Intel ones or do the Lenovo ones contain some drivers specific to my Laptop only like some controllers or so?)

    Intel HD Graphics v15.26.8.64.2696 (WHQL) [Shall I update the Intel HD Graphics 3000 Drivers to the latest ones from Intel?]

    Intel Rapid Storage Technology v11.1.0.1006 WHQL

    Intel Management Engine Interface v8.0.10.1464

    Realtek High Definition Audio Driver vR2.68 WHQL (can I install these drivers or shall I stick to the Lenovo ones? they use the same RealTek chipset) or can I use the ones stolen from the Y480 downloads page - Realtek HD Audio Driver v6.0.1.6543 ?

    Broadcom NetLink BCM57xx K57 v14.8.2.0 WHQL (udpate LAN driver, again, would you stick to the Lenovo one or the updated Broadcom driver?)

    Webcam Drivers v6.1.7600.117 (I stole this driver from the Y480 downloads page and it works with my Notebook, what do you think?)

    Renesas USB 3.0 Drivers v2.1.28.1 (can I update to these from Renesas? or would the default ones shipped with the Notebook be better?)

    Jmicron Technology JMB38x MMC-MS-SD-xD vR1.00.67 WHQL (same question, would you update these or stick to the original ones)

    Broadcom Bluetooth Driver v6.5.1.1201 (I stole these from the Y480 downloads page and it seems to install fine, but I am not sure is this alright to use them?)

    Please answer to each of my queries I would really appreciate it

    Did you really expect an anwser, to all of your questions here, BerryRacer?

    Maybe you should coordinate all your posts under BerryRacer. That's what you use at the Lenovo forum, and at Republic Of Gamers.
    Re: Which drivers to update on a Y570? - Lenovo Community

    ( Republic of Gamers - The Choice of Champions - News, Gaming, Guides, Overclocking ). Although you don't post there anymore, do you?

    I mean NOTEBOOK FORUMER, and now Ramzani! Really? Next I expect you to pull a rabbit out of your hat. :rolleyes2:

    Are you familiar with this forum rule:
    "Each member is allowed one login account. Registering with multiple accounts is not allowed."
    I suppose that you deleted your NOTEBOOK FORUMER, and re-registered as Ramzani. So maybe this isn't an infraction of that rule.

    At you looking to post another definitive guide to do a "clean install" on the Y570 for your web site?

    Don't take my comment here, as a personal attack against you. I just find it comical that you feel the need to change your name in every forum. I have a suggestion for you. Don't post the identical post, word for word, in any other forum, under multiple names. That's a dead giveaway, and you lose the anonymity that you so crave.

    Oh well, I don't think you'll leave this thread up very long, before you delete it.

    I thought the question looked familiar.

    Didn't you get partially flamed for your belief that you shouldn't update to non-Lenovo drivers unless needed?
