    wait what? Are these official Nvidia drivers? I cant see it on their website, or did ASUS get a hold of these early?

    These were already posted over 8 days ago. They're good too, no issues and everything works! Not on the Asus g73jw driver page but they install without issue on the g73jw unlike the 260.99 drivers, plus they are official whql certified. I highly recommend anybody use this over the ones posted on the official asus drivers page since those are based on the inferior non-fermi optimized 25x series

    Thanks for posting these. I was having a heck of time finding drivers that would work...

    Now to benchmark under the new drivers :)

    Slightly off topic: wait, what? Is this the G73? What resolution are you running?
    EDIT: Basic version is 1280x1024 I think, right?

    Also, what drivers did you go from/to?

    Previous Drivers: 260.99 (2010.10.25)
    Current Drivers: 265.66 (2010.11.07)

    And yes, the Basic version is limited to 1280x1024.

    I see. Kind of stroking my ego here for my G50vt that I've spent too much time and money on. Can't multitask the same as the G73 but the 3dMark06 scores are similar. Not that that means much anymore but hey :)

    Thanks!
