Hello,
I have an Acer laptop with discrete graphics and was never successful in updating the graphics driver straight from Nvidia. Nvidia's driver update software told me that I had to get my update from Acer directly. But Acer only supported driver updates fro a few months.
My machine is pretty low end, but I'm wondering if I would have the same experience with a $1-2K gaming laptop (i.e. that I must depend on the manufacturer to update drivers) or do most gaming laptop manufacturers (not the boutique ones, but Lenovo, HP, Acer etc... ones in this price range) allow/encourage end users to get their drivers directly from Nvidia/AMD like I can from a discrete desktop card?
Thanks in advance!
