Should I update my GPU drivers?
Question: Should I update my GPU driver to the latest? AMD Adrenalin has frequent driver updates(almost every month?). The updates are usually for the FSR game supports. Mine is just a low low en...

@too0ld4thi5I already am running my pc almost 24/7 and most of the day I spend gaming
The game wants the CPU to run at 100% man, it is literally utralising it because the more cpu you use the more fps and smoother game is.
Also I don't understand how less utralised CPU makes your game run better?
Another thing, just because you know little bit about computers doesn't mean you are the expert and can give veryone advices.
"Run your CPU 100% everyday for 6 hours let's see if your PC can last for 15 years."
The utralisation has absolutely 0 take on CPU's longevity, it might aswell go 200%, if the tempatures are low enough they can't damage the CPU.
Utralisation means the speed and "busyness" of which the CPU is being used, it has nothing to do with tempature.
High utralisation only makes CPU hotter, but again, if the CPU doesn't run at crazy tempatures like 100°C (200°F) than it's fine.
Also how do you know the state of CPU while playing the game?
I forgot to ask, what's wrong with CPU running at 100%? Does it make the PC lag?
Is Apex the only thing that's using the CPU when it's running at 100% or could it be perhaps some other app?
For me Apex can lag when other programs suddenly start doing something, like antivirus starts scanning or some gamestarts updating.
Oh Gosh....You don't understand English ...
Here's what you should try to do.
When you launch your game, Open up your 'task manager' and see how much usages Apex is using.
If your 'Apex' is using 80%, then why don't you try closing others apps.
And if your 'Apex' goes up to 85% after you clearing some other apps..
It means your Apex is hogging your usages. It wants to eat more.
"I forgot to ask, what's wrong with CPU running at 100%? Does it make the PC lag?"
If you don't see skipping frames with 100% usages during game fight, then you're ok.
If you can alt+tab to other windows smoothly and watch youtube with 100% usages then your PC is much better than all the others.
If you think, on the Technical sections shouldn't have a pin up thread regarding about 100% usages CPU troubleshooting, then you have nothing to worry about.
I am not a PC expert but I have experiences on it. I repair my own Power Supply unit.
I ran a PC 24/7 for 5 years and it die on the 6th. Yours is almost 24/7.
That story was almost 20 years ago but today technology has advanced so much,
so you don't have to worry about your PC dying the next day.
@too0ld4thi5did you come here for help or to brag how skilled and knowladgeable you are when it comes to PCs?
Whats my title? If you can read properly, then the 'thermal paste/maintenance' would not make a lot of big sentences.
I did wrote that an assumption about if the CPU continue to make 100% usage, the lifespan and maintenance would be shorten.
Did I or did I not?
The question was if I upgrade my GPU drivers, the CPU will goes 100%.
Why would it goes 100%? Idling at the lobby shouldn't use 100%.
Loading/Launching a game does.
If you don't know what does a 100% CPU usage do to your computer, you can try google it.
