    I will be receiving my Asus G53JW sometime today and was wondering what nvidia driver does everyone recommend for the GTX460M? Should I just use the most recent on Nvidia's website, 260.99?

    265.66 is the most current and seems to address a few issues. You can find it on on Asus' site with some digging, or hit my Driver's Page. (see sig)

    I do not know, since I do not have a GTX460M machine atm. It is however an official Asus release. :)

    You are right. The latest drivers on Asus site is the 259 and the latest on Nvidia.com is the 260.

    If you want 265 you can see on laptoptopvideo2go. I personally would stick to what's on Nvidia's or Asus' site. But if you want to experiment then laptopvideo2go would be it. But even there I would stick to mobile drivers not mobile mods from Desktops.

    How come Chastity says it's an offical ASUS release? Did he grap it from laptopvideo2go? I currently have it installed but now I'm thinking of going back to official Nvidia driver 260.99

    I suppose because Laptopvideo2Go claims it's a WHQL release.

    I appreciate the replay Chastity, but why is it not easily found on ASUS's website and how did you even find that?

    There are 2 ways to search: by device model, or by driver and application. I do it by the latter.

    select notebook, then G53, then G53JW and it will pop up with OS selection select it.

    The driver on nVidia's site is 260.99 however I have installed the one from Asus site that shows 261.14 why does nVidia show 260.99 being the update driver and not 261.14
