im trying to setup D3 on my m14x, and realized it wasnt even using my graphics driver. So I updated my drivers to 296.10, and in the Nvidia control panel, i made D3 use my high performance card by default. But I am still confused as to what settings i should have in the control panel. Also, Is this the latest best driver, as i was unable to find the "beta" drivers you guys sometimes find.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Once you have set your "D3" to High performance (do you mind tell me what that is? Or do you mean Diablo 3?), you dont have to do anything else though. For the driver version, you can find those BETA Driver by follow to this link then choose " Beta and Older Drivers", after that you choose your GPU and OS Version, then click on Search and it will show you both the WHQL and the BETA driver.

The latest BETA driver is " Verde 301.24 Driver" while the Latest WHQL is " Verde 296.10 Driver", though me I personally like the " Verde 295.73 WHQL Driver", because it doesnt slow any of the game I play nor having problem with my OC setting which both the 296.10 and the 301.24 are giving me.
