    I saw there were new beta drivers 326.80 on nvidia site, so when I tired to install those, I am getting no supporting hardware found error. Is there a way to install beta drives on NP8275 ?
    Currently i have 320.49 driver installed my machine for GTX 770m

    Found the issue. I was trying to install 32 bit driver. Tried 64 bit and it worked fine
    Other thing I observed was with new beta driver WEI got reduced. Strange

    WEI can behave very strangely and typically Nvidia wont care about the rating.

    I figured that. . But new beta is not very stable got BSOD 2 times in 5 hours. Reverting back to stable drivers

    That's the good thing about the betas, worth trying but you can always go back if they don't match up for you.
