    I checked the Nvidia site and found no driver for Windows 7 64 bit. What's going on?

    There's no WHQL certified drivers yet but the beta is available: Drivers | GeForce

    did you get a pre installed operating system. if so it should have a OEM driver installed already that was fully tested for your lappy and best not to change for now.
    if you loaded everything yourself then use the driver that should be on the driver disc you got.

    as said the only 8** cards supported at the moment by nvidia is the latest beta 337.50.
    the previous whql was released by nvidia before the new cards were released so the next whql should support all the new 8** cards.

    Use the drivers on the disc provided and then update. Thats what I did and Im now on 332.66 which support 8XXm cards. Everything is great minus an optimus issue with Diablo 3 thats more common then most know.

    Same here on 332.66, no problems yet
    ?
    What is the D3 issues? will the game now go into using the Ext GPU and stay stuck on integrated?

    I'm on the latest beta 337.50 and havn't experienced any issues, although I havn't tested it extensively (a few hours with CSGO). Optimus appears to be working fine.

    Basically everything looks good in experience and control panel and I can force or auto anything I want, but the game only seems to run on the nvidia card if I run wow then open d3 with wow still open. Otherwise its on the intel IGP. Seemed to happen with a driver update as it wasn't doing this a wekk or so ago.

    happens on a few games with the latest being titanfall.
    not every make or model is doing this.
    only has to be manually changed once in nvidia control panel and then its saved.
    find game exe in dropdown box 1
    change to dedicated in dropdown box 2
    click apply and all done.

    I can force it all I want in control panel and still nothing. Im sitting at 70-100FPS in wow but diablo barely scrapes above 20. Hoping there is an update or else Im doing a clean install of older drivers...

    I might try this route.
