Q: BootCamp drivers or Manufacturer drivers?
Hi guys.
I want to install Windows 10 with USB device in my MBA late 2012 i5 1,7Ghz/128SSD OWC/4Gb (El Capitan 10.11.3 beta)
my simply question is: What is the better to windows system performance BootCamp drivers or Manufacturer drivers?
Manufacturer drivers It´s up to update, Apple drivers...
Thanks for all!
iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11.1), Macbook Air 11" 2012 + MacMini 2014

The 5K link I posted has a link to http://www.anandtech.com/show/8623/hands-on-apples-imac-with-retina-display which has
Much more interesting is how Apple is driving it. Since no one has a 5K timing controller (TCON) yet, Apple went and built their own. This is the first time we’re aware of Apple doing such a thing for a Mac, but it’s likely they just haven’t talked about it before. In any case, Apple was kind enough to confirm that they are driving the new iMac’s display with a single TCON. This is not a multi-tile display, but instead is a single 5120x2880 mode.
This also means that since it isn’t multi-tile, Apple would need to drive it over a single DisplayPort connection, which is actually impossible with conventional DisplayPort HBR2. We’re still getting to the bottom of how Apple is doing this (and hence the sneaky nature of the iMac), but currently our best theory is that Apple is running an overclocked DisplayPort/eDP interface along with some very low overhead timings to get just enough bandwidth for the job. Since the iMac is an all-in-one device, Apple is more or less free to violate specifications and do what they want so long as it isn’t advertised as DisplayPort and doesn’t interact with 3rdparty devices.
Update: And for anyone wondering whether you can drive the 5K display as an external display using Target Display Mode, Apple has confirmed that you cannot.
One question: Why can´t install Windows 10 in Macs olther tham 2012? Does Windows 10 unsuport this component? I haven´t idea... May be unsupport Intel graphics devices < HD 3000?
It is not W10, it is Apple's BC drivers which they do not want to certify on older hardware, so you can buy newer Macs.
I think that all this problems is for Mac "EFI" from install legacy Windows 10 for example. Apple have update UEFI I suppose. My post means to log from specifict problem with Mac hardware.
The first fully-UEFI Macs are Late 2013 models, yet you can install W10 EFI on 2012 models, where the OSX EFI is used as ESP. Macs with 1.1EFI can also be upgraded via EFI update to be UEFI, if necessary, but Apple chose not to do it. This is again due to lack of driver certification.
