http://www.autodesk.com/autocad-graphicscard to find the Autodesk driver for that card, if one exists.

Your WHQL Certified driver for Windows 7 64-bit on this device is:

 

http://www.nvidia.com/object/notebook-win7-winvista-64bit-275.33-whql-driver.html

 

Though the Autodesk xml files may not be updated to show certified, the WHQL driver is accepted by Autodesk.  Thus, you should be able to override any automatic settings and manually enable the options that you desire. 

 

If you need a different driver for a different OS, please download the appropriate WHQL driver from nVidia.
