Really not true. For a start if you get an out of the box PC it will come with graphics drivers pre-installed (maybe not the best, but good enough to run a 2-year-old game smoothly)
If you build it yourself windows update will almost certainly have graphics drivers for your card
Even if you do have to manually install drivers, it's about a million times easier than on linux

AMD is another story, granted, but that does not mean it's the rule.
