    Am I suppose to use drivers that are only on Sagers website for the 580M, or can I upgrade to newer drivers from nvidia's website. What is the best way to go?

    OK good because I checked sagers site and the latest one they have is from July of 2011 and Nvidia just released a new driver about a week ago..

    The latest nVidia drivers for your card should work just fine. We have not found any issues running the latest nVidia drivers for the 580M, much less a 560M.

    there have been rare cases, mainly with older laptops and not specifically Sager/Clevo, where it is not recommended to use anything other than the drivers for your laptop supplied by the manufacturer.
