    my gaming laptop has an intel uhd 630 graphics driver and a nvidia gtx 1080 graphics card

    i am still on the jan 2021 driver for the intel graphics card driver. will me not updating the intel graphics card driver affect the nvidia graphics card and me updating the nvidia graphics card driver?

    as i know the intel graphics card driver controls the normal display of the laptop and when i want to play a game then the laptop will switch to using the nvidia graphics card. i was told that there is no need to update the intel graphics card driver if there are no problems. is that correct?

    Normally, if a newer driver has some changes that don't affect you, you don't need to update. This goes double for BIOS updates - if it works don't fix it.

    that's right. no need to update the intel graphics driver if things are working fine
