Why does steam automatically update graphics card drivers?

[Dickyb0b]

Why is there no option to press yes or no to install the latest drivers, what if ive already tried these new drivers before and had conflicts, straight after you press CHECK NOW , after that they automatically install , i am not happy , since when does check now mean install drivers right now without a choice?

it should be..

check now (update needed yes / no)
do you want to update (yes / no)

because somtimes new drivers and old games dont go down well

its only if you have an ATI card ,this will popup, soon as you press check now
you're doomed..

aparently , check now means , install now to valve (wtf)

Dont click check now?

Why check for latest drivers if your intention is not to install them?

because in my eyes check now means just check if i do , not check and update me right away without my consent, check is just doing a check and then i expect an option (yes / no)
so to valve , (check now) means (install now) yes?

well i wanted to check if i do and what version its going to update to , because i might of already tried the driver and had issues with games etc, you see valve dont take this in to consideration and just think about there bellys.

next time you see gabe at e3 or something , can you ask him the definition of the word meaning (check now)
