Hi all,

I am looking for some new drivers for my Sony Vaio VGN-FZ31E, but I am a bit lost here what to do and where to go...

Some specs:

GeForce 8400M GT

7.15.11.128

Windows Vista 32bit Home Premium

I hope someone can help me out here,

Cheers!

180.42 should give better performance for games.

download the driver and 'modified inf file' then extract the driver to a folder, and paste the modified inf file into that same folder. then run setup.exe and you are done!

may be prompted to restart 2 times for it to install correctly.

i didnt notice any performance/ stability bugs. 180.20 was pretty bad. especially with SLi.

Do you get better results with 180.43?
