My T430 came with both integrated and discrete graphics, so it's an Optimus model. As Lenovo drivers are pretty old (June 2014, I think), I'm wondering if it's fine to install the latest drivers from NVidia, but I'm afraid to mess up with this Optimus thing.

Have someone did this before? Thank you.

Re: T430 NVIDIA NVS 5400M drivers
I don't own a T430 so take this with a grain of salt, but I've downloaded the latest available drivers for my (since sold) T420 with nVidia graphics/Optimus from the nVidia site and it all worked flawlessly in W7 64 Pro.
Obviously, YMMV.

Re: T430 NVIDIA NVS 5400M drivers
Thanks George, if it worked for your T420, then it will work for my T430 too, after all they are pretty similar, just a hardware refresh. From what I've read, Optimus is entirely supported by the NVidia, and doesn't depend on other vendors, so the NVidia drivers should control this thing.
