    Nvidia posted a new GTX 285M driver but can't install, I have to wait for the driver from CLEVO.

    Please let me know when this driver will be ready for me (GTX 285m, Windows 7, 64 bit). I need it badly to work with the cuda optimised octane renderer ( http://www.octanerender.com/).

    Please help me!!

    Thanks!

    nothing is wrong with it, but if he has a w860/870 or even a x8100 then the driver from the nvidia site wont work right away as it doesnt have the 285 as a valid ID
