    Has anyone tried the Nvidia Drivers from Nvidia yet? currently GeForce Release 179 for Notebooks BETA
    Version: 179.28
    Do these drivers add any performance? At lest Nvidia has made it easier to get their notebook drivers.

    They are very stable, but not great on performance...the fps are stable (doesn't spike), but are about ~10 frames slow then the modded drivers.

    I've had good performance out of them. Didn't notice any drop in average fps in prince of persia, and about a 2-3 fps drop in far cry 2(comparing to xfastest latest). Also i was able to overclock them very high and still be stable and got my highest 3dmark yet.

    For me, games like tf2 or cod4...there is a 10fps difference.

    have you had any luck installing an older version of the matrix storage manager driver?

    Windows 7 beta 1 comes with v8.6.2.7 included so I'm just using those for now.

    Dox's Customised v181.20 are out. Been beta testing these for a few days and they run pretty well. They also install on Win 7 correctly from the installer.

    was dox able to implement the way nvidia detects your notebook and keeps full functionality? or are these like the other custom drivers? I love what dox does but i also like everything running flawlessly...

    Well he has integrated the official nVidia Notebook driver settings into his so yes these should work pretty well with any laptop.
