Video adapters have different design and capabilities. The driver presents the video card to the operating system in a standard manner where the peculiarities of each model get abstracted away.

Usually don’t fix what isn’t broken. If your system is stable don’t touch drivers. An exception might be if you have very recent bleeding edge hardware with early unpolished drivers.
