These are MSWHQL drivers from the Microsoft Update Catalog. Much like OEMs, Microsoft maintains their own line of NVIDIA drivers with a global INF that supports many GPUs, both mobile and desktop.
From what I understand, the 259.xx series may actually represent the 260.xx series that was planned for beta release at some point this week. It actually is a bit surprising we are seeing a 259.xx MSWHQL before an official NVIDIA beta release, though both ASUS and Clevo have released 259.xx drivers prior to this release.
Edit: Actually, it appears the beta scheduled for release this week was postponed until Monday, so it's unlikely that this driver is based on the same branch.
