      They’re hidden in the same sense that the real “download” button is hidden on most torrent sites.

      They’ve never been hidden. You just go to the website, put in your model and download it. There’s apps that do it for you now which is where this must be coming from. Still doesn’t change the fact you can directly download the driver.

        Maybe they were harder to find on their site like a decade ago when I first got an Nvidia card and I just never tried looking again.

          Nope. Always been that way. Enter model, choose platform, download drivers. Ive had to do it for at least a decade and a half since the nvidia program has never not borked out trying to update drivers.
