As someone that works in tech and is in no way averse to updating my own drivers: this is why I just used the stupid app out of frustration. Even knowing my exact GPU it was still a hassle.
It’s a phenomenon I seem to encounter more and more where previously inconsequential and simple to accomplish tasks have been obfuscated and enshittified just enough that its “easier” to do the shitty longer way they want to force you to use.
Yeah, that’s pretty basic. I seem to recall the option to even search by OS/GPU being fairly hidden, but again, probably just misremembering.
It’s the massive list of GPUs and all their variants that probably made it such a memorably bad experience.
You know, this may be it hah.

Okay thank God I’m not insane hahah. I’m over here like, man I’m in tech support, surely I’m just not that bad with Nvidia drivers 😂😂
