Do I need Intel graphics driver with GPU?
Technically, as long as your On-board graphics are already working, you don’t *NEED* to install the newer Intel drivers at all. If your GTX1080 fails, you still have working on-board graphics to fall back on for basic computer operation (you can at least see the screen).
What is Intel graphics driver and do I need it?

If you did uninstall it, it might use the standard VGA adapter driver, which would still take up some space but your resolution would be terrible.

What’s the difference between Intel graphics and Nvidia graphics?
Intel’s graphics is integrated into some of their CPUs. The GPU in that case is part of the particular CPU, it is integrated or built-in to the CPU. Nvidia graphics will come in the form of a discrete (standalone) video card that inserts into a PCI Xpress slot.
Is the GPU on the same chip as the CPU?
