Or Maybe Zotac looking for a way to get you to buy new hardware through a trivial excuse like that of the driver
The simplest answer is always the most probable: they contracted the people to which they have to pay the less.
In fact, when I was still using Windows in 2008, once I contacted HP about a problem with the printer's drivers (which was really a bug); and the answers was replete of gigantic orthographic mistakes. Not to say they didn't realize it was a bug, and didn't fix the problem.
In other circumstance, I installed a RAID driver from my computer's manufacturer (Medion) web-page, and realized the driver wasn't for my computer but for other model; what made the DVD reader not to work.
I emailed them, and they asked me to send my computer to them and pay a fee; instead of checking if the driver was really the wrong one in the site. They refused to solve the problem in the web-page, and instead they wanted to install the old drivers and me to use those forever.
Not to say the BIOS is buggy (Micro-Star/MSI) and hasn't got an update, and this isn't the exception but the rule with various OEMs...
Then I chose to change my operating system, and make my own computers. Regards.
