Imagine pumping fuel for your car. You choose the correct fuel at the petrol station, it doesn't give you your car brand.

Just select the latest stable (ie not beta) game ready driver and download that. It doesn't care that your card is asus or brand X.

Thank you Batman and everyone else who has given advice. The new card arrived just before and I've managed to get it installed and running without any issues. I downloaded the latest drivers and it installed everything bar the Nvidia Geforce experience thing and a Microsoft Visual C++ Redistribution? thing ?? I think the Geforce experience thing was something to do with games and gaming and as I don't have anything remotely connected to games on my computer maybe that is why it wouldn't install???
