I just got a new laptop ASUS G73JW-XA1 Republic of Gamers and I'm wondering as new as it is do I need to update the gpu drivers? it has the Nvidia GTX 460M. I did get rid of ASUS Live Update and other crap programs, so I'm good there. And I can update the gpu drivers straight from Nvidia right? or do I do it from an ASUS site?

You don't need to update your graphics drivers unless you are having issues with your current ones.

Ahhh ok then. Easy enough. And the second part of my question. When I do "need" to update them I can do it straight from Nvidia right? Cuz I got rid of ASUS live update, heard it was horrid.

Yep just type nvidia drivers into google, go into the site and select the gpu you have and you can download the latest drivers available for it.

Dont get it from Nvidia, it stuffs up ASUS laptops, get their own drivers, they keep it up 2 date anyway.
