I know that the nvidia or always the latest drivers so normally I use those.
But now I bought a msi gtx 950 gaming edition so I was wondering if it will have better performance if I install the msi drivers.
I don't update every time to the latest drivers so I thought the msi drivers may include some better gaming tweaks for my card?

With the Nvidia ones. The MSI just takes the chipset from nvidiaand puts it inside a new cooling system. The chipset is the most important piece. So stick with nvidia drivers because MSi receives the latest updates after nvidia does. Msi drivers arent bad though

For most laptops, the drivers you want to use are the ones from the laptop vendor. Since MSI is more of an open standard builder, the nVidia reference drivers may be OK to use there. Usually using reference drivers can cause issues with multi-GPU systems that switch to onboard video for power saving.
