Are the drivers better from the manufacturer’s website or from those that come with Windows from Microsoft?

After installing Windows, fully update the system, and then install the drivers for the motherboard and GPU.
Download the motherboard drivers from the motherboard manufacturer's official website.
for GPUs, from the official Nvidia/AMD website.

Alright, I’ve drawn some conclusions from my system.

With Secure Boot enabled and after installing the motherboard and GPU drivers, the game feels bad to play.

With Secure Boot disabled and the motherboard and GPU drivers installed, the gaming experience feels great.

With Secure Boot enabled and using the drivers offered by Microsoft instead of the manufacturer's, the game feels great.

I am using Windows 11 25H2 with all default settings; I haven't applied any tweaks.
