    Hi I would really appreciate some help with this,I have an asus 3d laptop (53jw-ix) and have been wanting to update my nvidia graphics driver to 267.76. The problem is that there does not seem to be a 3d controller driver which is specifically designated for this version of geforce driver on the Nvidia website. I have previously been using the 266.21 3d controller driver with the geforce driver that I have installed (266.58) - the only other 3d controller driver that I see that might work is the 266.58 - but on the Nvidia website it mentions support for desktop gpus but does not mention mobile gpus. I have been really confused by the whole 3d driver issue!

    "geforce-3d-vision-notebook-winvista-win7-cd-1.55-whql-driver" - Thanks but when I tried to install the above package, my 3d did not seem to be functioning correctly. I wonder if there is something I missed... I assumed that the package was a bundle which installed all the necessary nividia and
    3d drivers at once - or is that not right?

    I was also considering trying the new beta (moded for laptops) - 270.51.

    I had the same issue with previous version and apparently the 3d usb driver didnt install properly so, iirc, i had to install it manually.

    Thanks for your reply - which is the 3d usb driver - is that different from the 3d vision controller or the 3d vision driver?

    Ok thanks a lot - I now have to decide whether to wait for the official 270x release (which apparently makes things a lot easier as everything is contained in one package).
