UPDATE 2007-11-04: added DELL and SONY release, repacked & reuploaded. The SONY release comes with a Firmware Update for selected Go cards (use Firmware.exe). A lot of files in the DELL and SONY release differ from the original release (for NVIDIA, COMPAQ, LENOVO and HP), so i included the complete drivers for each in a subfolder (you'll see after extraction). Driver is latest available WHQL certified VISTA driver for SONY as of today!

Latest driver as of today (build only a week ago). Additionally WHQL.

[FiShBuRn]

We can OC with this 156.65 release?

[Guest illmatic]

Hey bro, good looking out on these drivers, exactly what I was looking for, thanks.

I take it we don't need the modified inf's for these....

[cosinusx]

Yes, what abou frequency scaling?

edit: don't work for me

Edited September 26, 2007 by cosinusx

[Guest illmatic]

For those with HP notebooks, use the nvwh.inf file inside the "original_inf(s).zip"

[illmatic]

To add on to this for HP users, delete the nvlt.inf and nvlt.cat in the folder, so you only have nvwh.inf and nvwh.cat

So far, these drivers are great for me, Aero is running nicely and no problems thus far.

[Guest Aoshi]

Is it safe to use these drivers for my BenQ S41's 8600M GS? I noticed that the drivers are from Lenovo/Nvidia so i'd like to confirm before i switch to these drivers.

[Wawy]

Dling and testing on Nvidia geforce go 7600. Thx.

Edited September 26, 2007 by Wawy

[TorNaK]

Working good for me on 8600M GT :)

[StaFForD]

works great with a Go 7900 GS

[Smooshieus]

These don't seem to support clock scaling (powermizer), unfortunately. If you want both scaling and overclocking the only one I found to do this is so far is 158.45 (on a 8600M GS). See my post about it here. I'm hoping they'll fix up those 160+ drivers to support both of those features soon...

Edited September 26, 2007 by Smooshieus

[Guest Guest]

Overclocking is NOT possible and WONT be possible with any new driver.flash your bios !

[Guest Soulus101]

Will these work with my medion RIM2520?

Hello,

I've got an HP Pavilion dv9217ea. I've got a Geforce Go 7600.

And I want to install thoses drivers 156.65.

You said that HP users have to use the original nvwh.inf and .cat and delete other inf (nvlt.inf and .cat).

But in this inf (nvwh.inf) there is no mention for Go 7600 !

the Geforce go 7600 (ID=0398) is present only in nv_dispd.inf in the "original_inf(s).zip" and in the modded inf "nvlt.inf".

What should I do to have the better choice ?

Thank you,

++

Miles

[Guest tx1119us]

I followed the directions too for my hp tablet with 6150 integrated, and if you use that nvwh.inf it does not show my card, just the 8800 i believe. furthermore if i use the original .inf, my computer fails to boot. This is true for most of the releases, save for most recently, 163.69

all the others get to where windows should have loaded, then sits in a black screen for a whille, reboots, and asks if i want to repair my comp. I have tried all manner of driver cleaners, so it's not that.

Should i be using a different .inf? I don't get it, and it's frustrating!

Thank you all for any help

[MYXT5000T]

Install 156.65 on my go 7600, run some few old games, benchmark, etc...I find this stable driver good as 156.55...156.65 is keeper for me.

also run WEI base score below with 28-30 processess.

processor - 4.6

memory - 4.5 <---only single ram, I will upgrade a pair of stick total 2gb should boost some score.

graphic - 4.8 <---disabled areo sh*t...who need it ? pffttt

gaming graphic 4.8

primary hard disk 4.5

[StaFForD]

now my FPS has dropped on my Go 7900 GS, I was getting around 60 in CS:CZ and now it is down to around 15.... I think im going to change back

[Technomancer]

Works fine 4me (8600M GS too). I used the original nv_dispd.inf from the included zip-archive though, not the modded inf.

Maybe you should try that.

[Guest NotHome]

Works for me: quadro nvs 140m on dell latitude running vista business

Possibly a little poorer performance than the 163.69 drivers, but too close to tell.

Thanks again for the drivers!

:)

[Guest gaervern]

Had to install with "have disc" mode and modded inf. Seems to be the most stable driver on my go7900 GS, so far. Less problems driver crash with dual screens and change of user account.

[Raphie]

I love this driver: EVERYTHING just works on my XPS-M1330. No BSOD's or vague hickups

[pro101]

Good driver, it fixed the disabled color vibance found in the stock Lenovo driver for the Nvidia FX 570M. I'm coming from the ATI world where you can save profile and assign it a shortcut key. Can it be done with Nvidia panels? (e.g. CTRL + F1 for a given setting, CTRL + F2 for another)

[illmatic]

I think this driver is great also because it's MADE for our Laptops and is a legit CURRENT mobile driver (as of 9/19/07)

I really think we should be using this for our cards instead of the latest 16x.xx, I gues eventually they'll release the 16x.xx for us mobile guys soon, hopefully.

[pro101]

Bug report: desktop color settings are removed when the laptop goes on sleep, or even screen saver mode. Clicking back on the color settings re-activates them.
