If you want to win a motherboard of the new Asus P8Z68/P8Z67 series you should remember the importance of these technologies and use your logic(if there is any in the game) to solve the puzzle which Asus Digiton offers. Well it’s not as interesting as their last game, the Asus Motherboard Mayhem, but considering the prize it’s absolutely worth giving a spin. With a lot of trial and error I managed to pull it off at the end. The catch is to get an upgrade at your city with every technology you choose. I’ll give you a few free tips. You start with the UEFI BIOS, and try to get an upgrade with every technology you choose, if you don’t you better start all over again, because you will just waste your time. Enough said, now go play Asus Digiton and enter for a chance to win the new P8Z68 motherboard and surely, have fun!

Well you just bought yourself a new notebook with nvidia graphic card and you found out that the driver on the manufacturer’s support/download page (asus, acer, sony, msi, hp..) hasn’t been updated for some time and now you can’t run your newly bought game for your powerful notebook graphic card (gt 460m, gt 540m, gt 550m or gt 550m ..) or your graphic card performance is compromised. Out of desperation you go to the nvidia support page hoping to find the latest nvidia driver for your notebook. You download it and snap! There’s the error: “NVIDIA Installer cannot continue” – “This graphics driver could not find compatible graphic hardware”.
Don’t worry there is always a way with drivers, that is if you search long enough :) If you have changed a few notebook generations with nvida mobility graphic card through the years, you already know that nvidia doesn’t care particularly about updating their mobility drivers for specific manufacturers which is kind of frustrating. In fact I don’t know if there was a notebook ever built which the official nvidia mobility drivers do support. I’ll show you how to modify the nvidia mobility drivers to make them support your specific hardware. I have done this the easiest way possible for my Asus K53SV and it worked perfectly. It should work for other manufacturers as well, at least it’s worth a try :) .
* If for any reason you cannot do the steps below (lazyness doesn’t count :P ) please just write your notebook model and the Hardware ID from the first step of this guide and I will do my best to modify the driver for you.
UPDATE 2018: You can find the Asus F510UA i5 2018 model of this laptop here. The reviewed laptop is an older model, so please keep in mind. The linked 2018 Asus laptop is the one we recommend in 2018.
After the large success of the Asus K52 Model, which varied between 500-1000$ price range, comes it’s successor the new Asus K53.
