All of it; Gigabyte has supplied drivers. Microsoft Win10 will install drivers for most of it initially but reinstalling drivers from Gigabyte would be recommended.

Before you start installing drivers from Gigabyte, see here;

I meant generally, all of it. Drivers from specific manufacturers ie Gigabyte, are better than what Microsoft offers. Depending what your system is based on and needs, lookup what each driver does and see whether you need it. If it's a laptop or pre-built i can understand the concern of not really knowing what you have.

But saying that, installing all those drivers wont have a negative impact, its all meant your board. Will just have some extra features there installed you would have no idea about :)
