To Update Nvidia Drivers or To Not?

The Nvidia drivers on Asus for the PX13 are dated 2024. I updated them from Nvdia before and it worked. But the other day I found Windows 11 replaced the RTX in Device Manager with generic Windows Drivers. It could have been from me doing a powershell command to cleanup system files (can't remember what I ran) while the GPU was in Eco mode. But I don't want to just create more issues being obsessive about having the latest drivers.

I have confirmed that Optimized mode in MyAsus eats battery even when you disconnect from A/C so to maximize battery life you have to leave it in Eco and only put it in Standard when you want to use the Nvidia GPU.

I'm not a gamer but do video editing and GIS stuff. Is there consensus on if it's worth it to upgrade the Nvidia drivers or does it create more headaches eventually than just sticking with Asus official driver even if it's old?

gpt-5.4-nano is my workhorse. With latest happening with Roo Code I decided now is the time to try Kilo. I use requesty. 5.4-nano wasn't listed in the Kilo requesty provider models. Setup a custom provider. Reasoning checkboxes next to the models are unchecked. "Function tools with reasoning_effort are not supported for gpt-5.4-nano" WTF? Even tried modify kilo.jsonc - adding "reasoning": false to model definition. No dice. Are you serious?
