The official Nvidia drivers simply BLOW.
I was getting smooth frames and performance boosts on all of my games using these drivers. I only recently decided to try out Nvidia's newest desktop drivers on my M1730 because of updated SLI compatibility profiles only to notice a big dip in frames.
Im gonna try reverting back to Dox's 185.85 drivers but would like to mention that Dragon Age Origins just got released, is that not a game worth releasing an optimized driver for? lol

Love these drivers!! When I switched to 180.84 from the bootcamp drivers I could play all of my games very well w/ much better fps! Thanks much Dox you tha man.
In your opinion,
What are the best drivers to increase fps?
I have not had any trouble w/ fps in games until I started to play Dragon Age. Great game, but I am getting slideshow performance at the moment.. if I could just get 4-5 fps more it would be playable. Are these the best drivers for Dragon Age?
Sorry I am a bit noob when it comes to this stuff, anyone know the best Dox driver to increase FPS in dragon age? Ty hope english was good

Bah, sorry. I installed the 185.68 for XP and I found you can no longer overclock gpu! Dang.
I was using 180.84 drivers so I could overclock GPU. Sorry I know this is wrong place, but I can find no where else. Any other newer/better drivers than 180.84 that you can overclock with? Ty in advance

Wow! 5-6 fps increase after downloading the 182.46 drivers! And they allow overclocking too!
This has made Dragon Age playable for me!!! Thank you so much Dox! I never knew how big a difference good drivers can make! I hope you decide to come back and make some more drivers! They are by far the best!

Hello there,
i have a (maybe) stupid question but which type of instllaton i should choose for my Nvidia 9700m GT? the single/sli or the hybrid sli? The H_omepage of Nvidia tells me that the crad has hybrid SLI techhnology but only the one for saving power.
regards Matix

Thank you Dox! I was having an issue where no matter what driver I used I was getting a blank screen when attempting to watch Blu ray movies with Corel WinDVD Pro 2010. I tried Dell's default driver and a few of the other drivers on laptopvideo2go. This was the first driver I tried of the Dox series and now everything works! Thank you millions!

Hmm.. strange,, my screen go blank after installing the driver (using recomended step/clean install). when i check device manager in safe mode, it could detect all vga.
i'm using S42 and Win7 build 7057. BIOS ver still 1.08 (can't update it, dont know whats wrong)
is it because old bios , or old win7? >__<
anyway, thanks for ur best work Dox!

I seriously wish Dox had taken up an apprentice or something. After all, he is the master of modifying and refining NVIDIA drivers for lightweight installations. It was appreciated work, and I hope someday someone else will take up the mantle.

RIP Dox, wherever you are!
We really need someone to take up this task of continuing the custom forceware releases... 185.85 is getting sadly dated.

He quit, at least for now. Thankfully, this is a cat driver... I say that cause it seems to have 9 lives. I have yet to have a driver issue with games. Maybe Dox will return one day. Maybe when he realizes that it is ok for him to take all the time in the world and end up releasing his version of a six month old driver because a 6 month old driver from Dox is better than everything else.
