I know that the graphics drivers EVGA supplied at release were the only ones that were considered stable. It's been a few months now; are newer drivers supplied by nvidia stable enough that you would recommend them for the SC17?
 
Thanks for the response. I'm still enjoying the best all-purpose laptop I've ever owned (and I've owned quite a few).

    It uses an NVIDIA 980M graphics card and any NVIDIA 900M series driver is equally acceptable with this laptop as it is with any other 980M laptop.

    Make sure you select 900M series, the correct operating system, and Recommended/Certified.

    Dear paincave,
     
    I can confirm that new drivers are available from NVidia and are stable.  Also thank you to ty_ger07 for the extra information.

    TBH, I've never used Recommended/Certified drivers... then again my laptops only running the 970M and haven't had any issues to speak of.
