Important Notes

• INF is for Clevo Laptops only installing it on other systems may cause problems. Clevo laptops are usually rebranded and re-sold under a new name from re sellers such as ROCK, SAGER, EUROCOM, NOVATECH etc
  To check to see if your laptop is Clevo made go here, also check out Clevo's Site.
  
• The dowload links provided are for the INF only, you still need to download the driver from the main server, If downloading from nvidia's site make sure you download the international version
  
• Installation notes:
  
• Download the relevant driver and INF from below
• Extract the driver using 7zip, and put the inf file into the folder
• Uninstall your current driver and reboot
• Vista x64 users follow this
• Follow the Have Disk Method XP | Have Disk Method Vista to install or click setup.exe in the driver folder. I recommend the 'Have Disk Method' to install because if there are any errors it will pop up and it will be easier to diagnose problems.

Reporting Problems
When reporting problems:

• State graphics card
• Driver version used
• Check to see if pieter INF works first
• Be precise with the error.

Don't ask clevo/nvidia for support on the driver if installed using my inf as it won't be supported

Wow, thx. This is really nice. Can you update to the newest driver from Clevo (175.97), too? This would be great.

I made 10 minutes ago a nLite CD with an other *.inf, arggghh Will test yours on weekend, so thanks for this.

you welcome
please note these drivers arent for 3d mark 2006 to get the highest scores, they are mainly for real world games to get Higher image quality (for some cards) and to improve performance (for some cards).

I tried to get a nice balance between IQ and Perf based on the cards.
A higher end card has more agressive IQ tweaks (I dont not notice a drop in FPS) and mid range and lower end cards are tweaked for better perf with IQ enhancements as well.

as for 175.97 its vista driver only??? My inf is only for XP at present

i wont be releasing enhanced drivers just for mobile drivers.
I would expect the next release to be for WHQL drivers from nvidia.

I wont blindly release an inf to support a driver without first testing them and only for what i feel are worthy drivers.

[M_P_E]

Performance is not the only thing for me, the main focus for me is the image quality, so this is really helpfull.

On Sagernotebooks.com you can find a newer driver, also for XP. Look in NP9262 (SKU D900C2) Section. This 175.97 is also WHQL certificated.

BIG THX

Any near future support for Quadro 2500M and the latest 77 driver.

Edited by Prema, 22 July 2008 - 03:10 AM.

[Dox]

you welcome
quadro support will definitely make into the next release.
as far as 177.xx driver is concerned there were bugs in them that did not warrant a release.
but who knows.

[Dox]

new infs up hopefully all is well.

[Prema]

I just reinstalled windows and just before i wanted to install the vga driver...BOOM...Quadro and 777 support.

WOW again BIG THX :-)

[Dox]

its fair to say im preety drained with inf making at the moment
any problems with installation or after installation let me know

i hope they work well for you

^^Is your card in the list of cards supported by the inf?

[Dox]

are you sure you laptop is clevo made?
and the cars is 8600MGT not 8600GT?
and what do you mean ifl90?
also nv_disp is for driver 177.72

[Dox]

hey thanks for the feedback.
but just for verification did the driver install without adding the card to the inf?
Just adding the card line to the inf doesnt mean it will install because i named the way it installs differently to the defaut clevo inf.
i think the line: NVIDIA_G70.DEV_0099.1 = "NVIDIA GeForce Go 7800 GTX"
should cover the cards that arent listed in the inf such as yours, and i think thats how it installed.

also i added a missing 7800GTX card to the inf (thanks to you )

%NVIDIA_G70.DEV_0099.2% = nv7x, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0099&SUBSYS_09001558

also i think your card dev and sub id is the missing
%NVIDIA_G70.DEV_0099.4%

for some reason clevo has chosen not to have that card supported :o
I'll add it anyway to the inf for next release

regards.

[Dox]

thanks dasfool
i've added that line to the next beta inf already.

Been playing around with some new tweaks and settings,
overall its looking a better inf than the last.

regards.

and what do you mean ifl90?

It's a COMPAL as seen here: http://www.compal.co...ebook/IFL90.htm

[Dox]

thankyou rene.
it appears the card is a 8600Mgs and hence not supported.
