G75 GTX 670MX Drivers?

[Muzzar69]

Hi Guys,
Just writing this up requesting support on where I can download the video drivers for the 670MX? According to the Nvidia site ASUS requires you to download them from their product page, but the only drivers they have are the ancient 306.14 3 month old ones. Really want to get the newer sets as they have significant performance enhancements for newer games like Hitman and Far Cry 3.

Thanks guys.

You don't have to rely on Asus for graphic drivers, with some modifications the original up-to-date nvidia drivers can be used: http://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?26670-Nvidia-Driver-for-G75VX...&country=&status=

ASUS have not release newly VGA driver for G75, if you want to install, you will find the Nvidia website or ROG forum.
any problem without play games for good performance?

it will take some time to have new drivers released from ASUS because optimus is back in vx and the current drivers straight from nvidia do not support optimus by default.

so, you can either use the nvidia drivers with modded infs and forget about optimus, or just stick to the asus drivers.

I am sure one ASUS Manager decided:
"You want performance enhancements for newer games? We sell new Computer!"

Meanwhile i think i understand why Nvidia not officially support this Notebook/graphics card at their website:
Optimus without optional HD4000 graphics(?), Nvidia should fix it.
Subwoofer without easy to build hardware sound filter, Realtek should fix it.

Excuse my ignorance, but what does optimus do exactly? So I can decide if I really need it or not. Might see if I can get a mod, FC3 and hitman are lagging like pigs! Wont matter for long, I'm building a new gaming PC in a few weeks, so i'll use that from then on, but that's not the point.
What's the point of releasing gaming laptops, but not having the software so they can fulfill their purpose? Might as well release a car using a certain fuel that said country does not have yet. Here, give us 50K and you can have this car but you cant drive it because the fuel has not released yet. Common sense.
Disappointed, ASUS should put this on their website to warn people. Would of thought twice about purchasing this if I knew I would run into this issue. I shouldn't have to play around with drivers just so I can use the product as it was advertised for!

I don't understand why you guys keep talking about Optimus...............
Forget about Optimus, OK ?? There's no Asus G75 with Optimus in it.
I'm an owner of G75VW-AS71 and G75VX-QH72 - both come with GTX GPUs only.
