Well, hurried to download direct from NVidia, and of course it didn't work - what a mess. From here it at least installed, will see if everything works.

Bad performance with Assassins Creed on 8600m gs. In fact the worst I've tried, still I've only tried 174.xx series.

Anyways, what driver got best performance with Assassins Creed? And what is the lastest overclockable driver for HP dv9000 series? 169.04?

after a second round of installing drivers, low power setting still not functional and unable to complete 3dmark06 because graphics driver crashes and afterward performance is HORRIBLE

So I installed these and wasn't prompted to restart?

Looks like they went in fine though, they are showing up in the control panel (Nvidia control panel is working for the 32-bit with this INF), and I restarted just to be sure.

But yeah, I'll give it a spin with some games sometime this week and report back.

AWESOME DRIVER!!!

Played CoD4 and WiC for about 2.5 hours with these and they worked beautifully!

I did have a lockup with CoD4, but I believe it was a server thing. (Not a big thing either, comparable to the driver recovery error I'd get with 174.74)

Anyway, after 2.5 hours my temp reading was only 72C so these are definitely a keeper.

First of all it's my first post on this forum (i already used it but now I'm posting) so HELLO!

Works quite good for me (GF 8600M GT 512MB DDR2).

Good:

> No FPS drops with AC (no going down to low power 3D)

> Good overall performance

> No crashes so far

> Control panel working (not like in 174.93)

Bad:

> FPS drops on battery (always low power 3D)

> No overclocking

But remember that's what i discovered in my laptop :]

Worked good for me so far. Was playing Assasins Creed for a few hours yesterday and didnt notice anything weird. Only got like a 1 FPS increase, compared to all the other drivers I installed, but at leasts its better. Turok works good, CNC3 lookin good as well, no crashes unlike 174.xx series. Overall I recommend to any body havinf an Inspiron 1520 with 8600. Sry I couldnt help the guy with the HP dv notebook playing Assassins, but they worked good for me :)

3DMark Vantage slideshow crashes with MS Visual runtime error; 174.93 did work.

Installed and theres a lot of graphical corruption minimizing and maximizing in Aero. Theres also flickering in dreamscene and media players, I tried to get on with it and use them but just couldn't in the end. Never actually got round to using it in game in the end so can't comment there, but for using the laptop for day to day task's these drivers are a backwards step not a fowards one.

The problems these drivers give me used to happen ages ago when I first changed to Vista then eventually they got fixed....now they seem to be back again :)

Im someone that has to have the lastest and greatest and normally could put up with such things, but as 174.74 give me great performance in games already I don't see what these drivers actually buy me.

Big no from me :)

Maybe when you were switching to Vista you overheated your graphic card (by accident, doesn't have to be Vista's fault) Cause that's how it looks like :) And maybe older drivers get's graphic only in low power 3D/standard 2D which have lower clocks :P

I have a Nvidia GeForce 9500M GS (Asus X55SV). This driver works very good for me. Every other driver in the 17x.xxx series crashed my system and rebooted my notebook. I have no flickering, slowdowns (i have a speedup in the default speeds), crashes.... nothing ^^ :thumbsup:

I love this driver :)

Good: VERY VERY Stable Driver

Supports a lot of new GPU's

Fixes alot of Bug's

Bad: 1-3 fps slower than the ForceWare 174.93

RECOMMENDED!!!!!! :) :P :thumbsup: :rofl: :P
