    Do we download new video card drivers from the nVidia site or we MUST only download drivers from the ASUS site?

    If you are using a notebook with a nVidia video card, then you should be able to download the drivers directly from the nVidia website. You can get the same/equivelent drivers directly from Asus anyways, so it doesn't really matter where you get them.

    However ASUS rarely update the video drivers, so getting them from nVidia is generally a better idea if your computer is not very new.

    Get them from laptopvideo2go.com or nvidia web site because asus does not update there drivers, so you will get better and newer drivers from the others.

    If you have an nvidia GPU, the best place to get the graphics drivers is from laptopvideo2go as Mr.Moo suggested.
