    Could anyone please direct me to good working drivers for the qosmio x305-q706. The new ones on nvidia don't work it comes up as audio drivers for some unknown reason. I am having real issues trying to find any working driver for this laptop. The one on the website is old and games run slow with it i'm hoping a newer driver will help. It seems no driver i download off laptopvideo2go will work on my laptop and I am installing them correctly. I'm guessing i'ts cuase of the way the hybrid sli works with the third video card? If anyone can direct me to a driver that works for this laptop and how to install it properly it would be greatly appreciated!

    Please help this laptop is running games so poorly and I paid 2k for it :( I don't understand.

    I don't know what happened, but my graphic performance improved significantly!
    from about 3800 something on 3d mark vantage to 5500!!
    I just downloaded latest Toshiba display driver which has the same version of the old one.
    before that I uninstalled the old one and used driver sweeper to remove all old version files!

    i installed the driver from toshiba on my vista partition and the one from nvidia for my windows 7 partition and havent had a problem.

    i can tell you that this computer can be messed up easially. i had to do 3 factory resets and the computer is finally fast. bootup time is under 30 second for vista and 20 second for windows 7. with the drivers from nvidia on windows 7, i get 90+ fps in cod4 with 1280x800 resolution, and everything else on high, and only dropping to high 50's in some parts.

    i have the x300 with 1 9700M GTS and havent had a problem, but their very similar. try doing a full reinstall of everything.
