    Does anyone know where to get proper video drivers for the Y470? I'm running the older model with a GT550M.

    I went off and installed the 301.42 drivers from nVidia's site, but after doing that I don't have that Optimus icon in my taskbar anymore. Going to Lenovo's site for the Y470, they only have drivers dating back to November 2011. Is there any updated version of a driver that I should be using?
