The Defininitive nVidia Driver Upgrade Guide

hey guys, there's a new driver the 177.72!

[Tom1222]

Is it any good?

[alexlm]

I cant try it because I have windows vista 64 bit, and the driver is 4 32 bit...

the 177.72 seems good enough i just added two lines to the original nvidia inf and updated the drivers. dont have numbers to check if running any better than predecessors.

[alexlm]

Me too. Vista 64 that is. I am happy with my current driver.

Got a nice little boost when running 3DMark06 from 6824 to 7166 after installing the 177.66 drivers. I was previously running 177.41 drivers.

The 177.41 set has numerous reports of lower 3DMark06 scores. You might try 177.66 (check Freddy's nvac.inf fix in this thread first) and see if that helps a bit.

I have actually moved from the laptopvideo2go drivers. They were never complete and no one who knew what they were doing ever really worked on them. I am now using the 177.41 drivers from tweakforce. Those guys actually make sure the drivers are the complete mobile versions. Also they came pre-modded with a nice installer so you don't have to jump through hoops to get them installed.
