If you plan to play newer games with an older card, driver updates are a must. Of course, it didn't make any difference in a game like GTA V since it was a driver that was released long after the game was created, but it absolutely can be the opposite in new games. NVIDIA nor AMD can plan ahead for every single game developer, which is one reason why games suck right after launch, and require driver updates to solve their issues subsequently after.
You're right. Newer games on older drivers most of the times are not optimized. That being said, it can be the opposite for older games. Newer drivers can introduce microstutters and jittering in older games sometimes. The definitive truth however is that newer drivers are ALWAYS a better choice for security reasons.
