    He was probably meaning to ask does anyone know where to find a driver for it that actually is good... As having loaded pretty much everyone they have released on nvidia.com I am still looking for one that just works well.

    After reading on here about modded Nvidia drivers I did not realise that the r2/3 could just download the latest drivers from Nvidia. I though you had to go else where for a modded one to work with our laptops (i.e. the R1). I guess he meant that.

    So yeah the R2 is still supported by nvidia and that is the best place to go for the latest drivers.

    hey guys i seem to be having a big problem with the newest driver from nvidia. my graphics for a lot of games aren't smooth like they should be from utilizing the 1gig of graphics memory. And yes I do have the games properly whitelisted. Is there an older driver that works better? ugh
