Hey guys I am back with hybrid SLI and hyrbid graphics support. Drivers are based on Nvidia's notebook whql. Too many unnesecarry problems with this driver so I decided to have a go. Powermizer was disabled for some notebooks by Nvidia but I have enabled it for all models. The driver will install regardless of your make or model. I have added support for all hybrid SLI and hybrid graphics users. Hybrid SLI confirmed to work and Hybrd graphics confirmed to work.
Hybrid graphics option will also install the latest intel driver. Control panel should install for those that had problems with original. The directX and OpenGL tweaks has been re-done and confirmed by most beta testers that they slightly improve performance with no IQ loss over the original 185.85. Thanks to the beta testers and Nautis who helped make this happen.



Notes before installing
Uninstall your previous driver before installing these!!!!!!!
Desktop gpu support is removed
Mobile Quadro gpu support is removed
See supported cards to what cards will install

Whats new since 185.68?

I can't download any driver in nvision including my favourite dox's for about 2 months , anything wrong with the server?I'm in China^

[Teknobry]

I thought china has strict internet filtering, maybe thats why you can't download the file?

Dox, I'm currently using your customised 182.05 drivers on my dell xps M1730 -8800m GTX's. Going to give these news ones a try now, if they can perform as well the driver I'm using currently, and allow powermiser to work, i'll be a happy chappy

Keep up the good work, it is appreciated!

Is there a way to add desktop support? I always used DOX drivers because they were always better than nvidia's. Less stuttering and better fps.

I have 8800 GTS 512 SLI.

i was so glad to see new dox's drivers, but no XP support disappointed me a little. anyway, thanks a lot.

Dear Dox

i have sony vaio aw290 with 9600m gt card

and i dont know what to chose
standard or hybird graphic or haybird sli ?

[zipper]

Couldn't help trying this with my quadro FX1600M - about the same performance as with the default 185.85 driver.

[Dox]

Yeah in the 3d marks in my own testing I dropped some points but in real world tests I gain about 1-5 fps depending on the game.

Anyone? is it possible?

Wow, thank you Dox!

It works great on my Dell XPS 13 Hybrid SLI 9200+9400 running Vista x64. I finally reached above 4000 on 3DMark06 (4067 @ 1024x768)

Keep up the good work!

[EotT]

Thanks Dox for your new release. Im glad you're back

When I tried to install it, I get a "no compatible hardware found" message. Im using a 8400M G. I already checked the inf, and it's there. Any clues why it isn't working?
The non-dox 185.85 are working.

[Dox]

what is your OS?
have you tried installing via have disk method?

[EotT]

Nevermind. After 4 reboots, it installed fine
Going to test it now.

So far a pretty much perfect driver, only nitpick is when I unplug the laptop and plug it back in it doesn't automatically re-enable both GPUs, I have to click the tray icon and do it manually.

Otherwise the notebook starts up with both GPUs enabled like it should, doesn't freeze up at the login screen and cause the screen to flicker like the other modded drivers, and kicks to the integrated GPU when I unplug it with ease.

EDIT: I lied, ignore the nitpick, it wasn't working because I have WMP open. Awesome!

cool stuff, now all there is to perfect is hybrid graphics.

There is no 9800M GS supported accordingly your list. Will these drivers work with a msi gt627?

your "9800M GS" is actually a downclocked 9800M GTS, the drivers will install on your system but will be called a "9800M GTS".
