i recently found out that i was running 5 year old graphics drivers, and the reason i found out was that a newish (less than 5 yo) game kept crashing a few minutes after startup, with no exception. turns out updating your drivers does sometimes matter
Graphics drivers are strange, unlike all other drivers where the driver is written and then the software can use the interface, with graphics drivers the drivers get changed after the software is released to make it work better or at all.
Imagine making sofware that is broken and then just waiting for the drivers to fix it.
