For some reason this driver install wont pass the "checking system compatibility" saying it cant find a compatible graphics hardware and not compatible with my version of Windows. Am I missing something here? I'm running Windows 10 Pro and my GPU is a GTX Titan X (Maxwell) which both are in the list of compatibilities.

Guru3D's supported list is wrong on studio drivers.

Hilbert is also wrong to call these "Geforce" drivers, they are named Nvidia Studio Driver (NSD) and Geforce is not in the description.
These are also Quadro Compatible. (though the official support list doesn't indicate it)

With them, Monster Hunter Rise is crashing after a while. Like 10 minutes of play or so.
