    Hi,
    I can't believe that no nvidia driver is officially supporting the GTX570m, which is available for more than 2 weeks know...
    Which *inf mod driver do you suggest? Do you think it's better to stay with the one that arrive with the MSI GT780DX?

    Unless you are having trouble with a particular game right now, don't change drivers until a newer revision supporting your GPU comes out.

    The MSI78DXR is new and you probably have relatively decent drivers, so you shouldn't really have problems for a while.

    Grab 280.36 from laptopvideo2go and the respective modded inf.
    Your gtx570m is already supported in that inf you shouldn't have a problem installing them.
    Just forget about 280.28 whql because it has a bad habit to crash some gpus while 280.36 whilst a dev driver is more stable.

    Could this explain why my blu-ray drive doesn't play well?
    Is it a graphics card driver issue?
    I tried it on 3 blu-ray discs. One played decently, one played but had choppy images and eventually stopped playing, and the last one wouldn't even load. Do you guys think this is a hardware or software issue?

    there are video drivers that do mess up your ability to use blurays. My previous machine had bluray and an nvidia card and depending on my drivers, the video worked or didnt-


    There were other issues such as licenses for certain discs, but man is playing a bluray such a pain.
