    I don't understand how some people are running Nvidia drivers higher than 260.99.

    When I scan for new updates it tells me it's up to date. I manually dl'd 266.58 and tried installing it. It just comes up with my Windows version not being compatible.

    Not really complaining, just want to figure out how you guys are able to update to newer driver versions.

    M11x R2 users update their drivers by going to nVidia.com and downloading the latest drivers.

    If you're downloading drivers from there, and it tells you that your Windows version is not compatible, then it's because you're not selecting the right Windows version.

    You are using Windows 7 64-bit. Be sure to select that from the drop-down list on nVidia.com

    Kind of off topic but do "tweaked" drivers like OmegaDrivers for instance work with Optimus?
