For Windows 7, 64bit you can use my modified .inf here, just copy the file to DisplayDriver/304.79/Win8_64/English/Display.Driver (called Win8, even though it is actually Win7, probably a typo in the NVIDIA driver)
In short, open the nv_disp.inf in the Display.Driver folder and then you need to add this line to the [NVIDIA_SetB_Devices.NTamd64.6.0] section (and also [NVIDIA_SetB_Devices.NTamd64.6.1] and [NVIDIA_SetB_Devices.NTamd64.6.2]
In case URL postings work, here is the link to the nv_disp.inf for Windows 7, 64bit, 304.79 beta driver that works on Macbook Pro Retina under Boot Camp:
1) i tried reinstalling win7-64bit, and the bootcamp drivers were able to install correctly this time!! so weird! the drivers were of version 296.49.
2) when i extract the notebook beta 304.79 drivers, i don't have an English directory, but the International instead. also, in the Display.Driver directory, there's no nv_disp.ini, but an nv_disp.cat
" This driver also enables official support for NVIDIA's new TXAA anti-aliasing mode (though no games currently support it) "
Nvidia, producer of technology for games, ahead of the curve, gets 'er done, and then will HELP the game makers implement.
That contrasts with the sad state of amd cards and their drivers. Amd went awol and off the farm and achieved totally hypocrisy as they hacked opencl into a proprietary winzip implementation so they could claim just one thing they have done for "compute" for end users, though I know nobody who uses winzip in this day and age - since so many OPEN SOURCE free alternatives are readily available and preferred, not to mention the Windows XP Vista 7 shell abilities for unzipping...
nVidia, card support BACK to the 6 series - absolutely trouncing amd's no where near non equivalent.
Since this website likes posting blank pic areas for nVidia related news, two in a row now, maybe they should just make up a big #1 sign and put it in the empty pic slot above the last several nVidia gpu postings here.
Windows implemented an elaborate, segment-based, software virtual memory scheme, which allowed it to run applications larger than available memory code segments and resources were swapped in and thrown away when memory became scarce, and data segments moved in memory when a given application had relinquished processor control.

%NVIDIA_DEV.0FD5.00F2.106B% = Section029, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0FD5&SUBSYS_00F2106B
and this one to the [String] section:
NVIDIA_DEV.0FD5.00F2.106B = "NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M"

thanks for your help!!although, 2 things happened:
1) i tried reinstalling win7-64bit, and the bootcamp drivers were able to install correctly this time!! so weird! the drivers were of version 296.49.
2) when i extract the notebook beta 304.79 drivers, i don't have an English directory, but the International instead. also, in the Display.Driver directory, there's no nv_disp.ini, but an nv_disp.cat
what to do?!

GPU getting stuck at idle clocksregular driver crashes in dota2
...those two have been a bit bothersome, and appeared with the last version...Fixes were promised, but don't appear in the change log.
