simplest way would be to search for "Device Manager" in search bar on OS, then click each driver and see whether you can update each driver. There may be a 3rd party program to check your drivers for you.

Do you actually need to update your motherboard driver?

first thank you for your help
I read that when you instal a clean windows 8.1 you must update drivers
it is best for games and speed of the system

usually no one care till PC start crashing or act slow.but when you install fresh Windows ,you get options to update almost everything.i have no idea you choose that or not.depends what applications you running on your rig.as mentioned about motherboard updates(BIOS drivers)ITS NECESSARY EXPECT IF UPDATE LIKE CPU OR GPU OR MEMORY.the motherboard update can be a failure then your motherboard become a brick .so like i mention before all depends what computer is for.

UPDATE! u can update video drivers from here it auto detects your GPU or you can update manually:http:// and install Catalyst Control Center Which inform you when update available and overclock or make game settings in your favor.!:http://and thats what CCC does :http://

Windows update has a database for drivers. Going to device manager and checking each is a waste of time as windows update uses that same search database. Many times drivers don't get updated, as you can see many of yours are from 2013. It works and there's no bugs, then why should the company release an update? The gigabyte site lists the majority of drivers you need but windows usually gets everything so there is nothing for you to do.
