"I can't fathom why people want to abstract something as simple as downloading the drivers straight from Nvidia and installing it, but then again people" I think I do understand WTF a computer is, yet at some point I also had a tool on windows installed, that automatically downloaded ALL of the drivers for all devices. Convenient, but the main reason I installed the thing was, because it could install drivers I did not even find on official websites. But just out of curiosity, if you understand what a computer is, why do you prefer manual labour and look down on people who automate things? |

Because driver updates I didn't strictly need have historically ruined my day more often than not.
No, I'm not grabbing this driver update either. My Nvidia drivers are years old but they work fine, and I have better things to do than troubleshoot borkage stemming from drivers I didn't need to fix.
Remember: If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
>and look down on people who automate things?
The specific audience here should know better than to delegate updates (let alone updates for system components) to some nebulous automated and/or all-in-one construct provided by third-parties to the hardware/driver vendor.
