How to install the drivers

I'd like to know if you have any success updating the Nvidia drivers. I have read the posts in this forum, but as of yet I haven't been able to get the 304.79 drivers to install properly.
You can install the drivers, though you have to go through a couple of steps. (note this advice is for installing on Windows 8 RM, not sure if it applies to W7). Once I installed the drivers the following happened for me: (1) my windows user experience score changed from 7.1 to 7.3, (2) Batman Arkham City started working.
To install the drivers:
(1) down load them from here and also the .inf file.

(2) replace the standard inf file with the downloaded doctored inf file (search for it in the downloaded unzipped folder and replace).
(3) BEFORE attempting to run the setup.exe to install the drivers you must disable the requirement of Windows 8 for Driver signature enforcement. To do this follow the instructions here

The driver download page implies that modded inf file does not lead to any odd power changes etc, however there is no way to confirm this. So far my machine has been running rather well. Batman is totally jaw dropping on this machine (rMBP 2.6/16/512)
