DriverGeek lists every device on the machine with its current driver version, date and provider, then checks which of them have a newer release available.
Windows Update only offers the drivers Microsoft has certified for your hardware and stays quiet about the rest, so a machine can sit on a driver that is years out of date without ever being told. DriverGeek shows the whole picture and leaves the decision to you.
