    I see that Nvidia has an update for my drivers, but I can only update through Acer and they probably wont be doing any updating. Is there anyway to update the drivers without going through Acer?

    As you know when you download from Nvidia only the audio drivers show up. This is such a waist in my opinion. :(

    - uninstall current driver
    - restart into safe mode ( use driver sweeper, google it)
    - restart,again, safe mode and install new driver

    That should work for you.
