Recommended Posts

Latest version of my optimised drivers out.

Based on WHQL candidate nvidia drivers.

Drivers are now packaged in a nice and easy streamlined installer.

Drivers are now hosted here and mirrored at filefront - no more download issues!

[UPDATE 2]

New version out for XP only. Fixed issue with Digital vibrance.

Use the "old" version of 180.44 if you have problems with this one

[UPDATE]

Vista x64 v1.0.0.1 out and install issues fixed. Before downloading clean your cookies etc otherwise you will download the old Vista x64 v1.0.0.0!!

To verify you have the right version right click Vista64_180.44.exe choose properties, choose details and see if it says 1.0.0.1.

I tested this on a Asus F9Sg. specs are 12 inch wxga, 2.1 ghz c2d, 3 gig ram, 250 gig hd, 256 mb nvidia 9300m G.

The performance increase from this driver was huge. it was like ocing without the oc. truely awesome. only downside

is it made sleep not work when you close the lid. so it never wakes up :) I really wanted to keep these drivers too. sigh.
