What is a driver?
In the most fundamental sense, a driver is a software component that lets the operating system and a device like;
a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit also called a video card) a specialized processor originally designed to accelerate graphics rendering.
the chipset (It is the traffic controller between the CPU, GPU, RAM, storage, and other peripherals attached or built into the motherboard.)
the sound card (also called an audio card) a peripheral device that attaches to the ISA, PCI or a PCIE slot as well as being built into most modern motherboards to enable the computer to input, process, and deliver sound output.
to communicate with each other.
These drivers may or may not need to updated on regular basis or at user discretion to improve the overall functionality of the devices that are dependent on the driver to operate.
