    Is that the date on the driver or the date it was uploaded to the site? They may be lagging behind current versions and have an older version uploaded to the site as of 6/10

    As long as Nvidia has started officially adding support for the Clevo version of the card to the drivers (which should be most if not all of the cards out by now), grabbing the latest WHQL driver from the Nvidia site will be your best bet anyway. The beta drivers are still debatable though as they don't always run stable or without a modded inf.

    I think the 560m should install without a modded inf using the latest WHQL drivers though- others don't seem to have any issues.

    The current latest WHQL from Nvidia in fact does not support the clevo GTX 560M and 580M, you will need a modded inf for that or you can install the current latest beta driver with does have inf entries for these cards.

    The next WHQL will have out of box support for these cards.
