    How do you go about updating the Quadro KxxxM cards to the latest driver..? Can't seem to find any modded package.

    You don't need to obsessed with the latest drivers, unless you're experiencing issues on the current ones. If lenovo doesn't have new drivers up, you just need to wait.

    The newest is 305.67 beta. Not many know of it since its just available at Nvidia Developer site and the mobile support list is hidden. But search and thou shall find.. It should work and its the newest (22 August)

    Actually, I wouldn't advise trying those driver straight from NVIDIA. I installed successfully but GPU utilization was poor and lacked Optimus. Lenovo updated the driver to 305.x couple days ago, I guess that's good enough.

    Nope it doesn't support however, the 306.02 is based on 304_70(305.68 is based on 304_70 too). But the 305.67 is based on r304_83. They are probably done by different department but scheduled to package the driver on 08/22/2012.

    Damn, Nvidia is fast with their drivers.

    305.93 is the newest one for Tesla/Quadro. Its a WHQL driver too. :)
