Andrew55 Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 It should be with the original inf. Certainly with the modded inf though. I reckon this is a well anticipated one if that 'blazing' fast performance is realized! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MooMetal Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 I usually have to download the modded inf because my card is on my toshiba laptop and forces me to download the drivers from toshiba and those lazy pricks updates once a year or something. Anyways, where can i download the modded inf for this release? will the current 180.84 driver modded inf that was posted on this wesite on the 2nd december work on this release??
