    Congrats on your purchase... you might want to try using the 175.32 driver from NVIDIA. It was released a few days back and is compatible with the 1730/8800M GTX. Also, there is a documentation tab - read the .pdf on the control panel and how to use it.

    All the info you need is here

    Be sure to uninstall the NVIDIA DRIVER using your control panel>>> Programs & Features

    Once this is complete, run the installer for the 175.32 driver. Hope this helps.
