    Are max-q cards supported? None of the drivers list max-q support.

    Are they just not differentiating max-q/max-p anymore?

    ...Yeah, it's been a while (1yr+) since I did a manual driver install,, like last June and then Windows did one with the 20h2 update.

    Just pick one for your card, notebook. They don't really do max-q/p anymore.

    There has never been a separate driver for Max-Q cards.

    It's just that I could have sworn they were once mentioned separately.

    I'm getting old and forgetful ...and I'm possibly turning into Grandpa Simpson
