ATI ---> Nvidia SLI Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 This is really simple! Download the newest driver from this link http://forums.laptopvideo2go.com/index.php?showtopic=16506. After that download the Modded Inf and replace the original nv4_disp.inf file with the downloaded one in the installation folder. Run setup and your hardware will be detected!

Nivaku Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 (edited) MBAKER - Did it work bud? BTW is your laptop a Toshiba Sat. P105-9722? Notice any overheating while idle? Seems like a common problem with different drivers in our system, other then having stocked 6.14.10.8400 version.

Seems like a common problem with different drivers in our system, other then having stocked 6.14.10.8400 version. It worked for me on the P105-9722. No overheating problems that I've noticed, but it does get warm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
