  2. For competitive games, stability matters more than teh newest game optimizations. If theres a separate stable/studio/recommended branch, thats usually the better fit. hope that helps :)

  4. been there man my approach: make a restore point, download the previous driver pakcage sooo its ready, then try teh new one. if anything misbehaves, DDU and reinstall the old one. that makes updating a low-risk experiment.

  5. read teh release notes on the Intel support page before anything else. they list fixed issues and known issues. if a known issue matches your setup, wait; if teh fixes dont touch you, theres no rush.
