I have the same video card on an all-in-one, which is effectively a large laptop of course. I too have tried to find any update to the driver, but the nVidia site directs you to the manufacturer for laptop installations. Sony Update does not have any, as you will have found, so I presume that I have already installed any updates Sony is willing to let me have and have given up. I would suggest you do the same unless you have a display problem of some kind.

mauricebs is correct in recommending that you stick with the Sony drivers unless you have a particular problem.

However, if you do have a problem that needs a recent driver and at your own risk, you can update the nVidia drivers by modifying the installer .INF file to allow you to install then on your model.

Is any chance to get the original manufactory driver from somewhere without modifying it?

I had one before, but some way I lost it.
