    Nvidia just released new drivers today for the 650m and 740m (which supposedly works for 750m users).

    NVIDIA DRIVERS 320.18WHQL

    Downloading it as I type.

    BTW, has anyone tried playing the game Metro Last Light on the y500/400? I just got the game and sweeet jesus that thing had my pc cooking like a grill on the 4th of July! I couldn't believe the temps it hurled my system into (so high I wont even say it...). Had to completely disable turbo boost speeds through throttlestop to keep the temps from frying everything. Worked quite well considering it doesn't use much CPU anyway, but rund the hell out of the GPU. Very demanding game. Hopefully the new driver help...

    Not sure if I'm crazy but after installing these it seems the performance of some games have dropped. I swear I was running NFS Most Wanted @ max details smoothly but after these drivers I fired it up and it was really jerky, had to turn some stuff down. Same thing with LA Noire.
