    So I just got my P151HM1 today and I tried to uninstall the VGA driver manually and then install the NVIDIA driver for the gtx 560m. It didn't work out. When I went to install NVIDIA's driver, it told me that it could not find supported hardware (or something like that). I fixed it by re-installing the VGA driver off of my drivers disc but I would still prefer NVIDIA's driver.

    Could someone explain in fairly good detail how to go about doing this?

    To decompress the Nvidia driver executable, install Winrar.

    You definitely want to install Atmosk's modded .inf... My benchmark scores increased ~10% between driver versions 268.49 and 275.50.

    Or, even better, install 7-zip. :p
