Surely by optimising your graphics for that game you are unoptimising for every other?

When a new game comes out, graphics drivers often need an update because the game might use new or complex graphics techniques that the current drivers don’t fully support or optimize for. Game developers often work closely with graphics card makers to fine tune how their game runs on the hardware.

Updating the driver ensures the game runs smoothly, using all the latest tech and fixes any bugs or glitches that might happen.

As for “unoptimizing” other games, the updates don’t mess with older games because drivers are designed to handle a wide variety of games and settings. They can improve specific game performance without breaking older ones. Think of it like adding a new tool to a toolbox-it doesn’t make the other tools less effective, just adds something extra!
