    Hey all,

    I'm thinking of doing another GeForce driver comparison on my machine in two parts - one soon on 32-bit, and another once I migrate to 64-bit (whenever that is).

    But after exhausting LV2Go's search for drivers that have my card in the original INF, I'm taking suggestions for others to toss in the mix. Here's what I've got so far:

    174: 31, 51, 74, 90, 93
    175: 61, 63, 70, 75, 76, 80, 90, 97
    176: 07*, 20, 26, 37, 40, 68, 92
    177: 40, 66, 70, 73, 81, 85
    178: 08, 13, 24
    179: 13, 14
    180: 42, 43, 44, 48, 70, 84

    (italicized drivers will be restricted to 32-bit only due to lack of availability, space, or modded INF)
    *64-bit only

    Any suggestions of drivers you'd like me to add? As you've noticed, I'm including non-WHQL sets.

    suigi, i have one question. Why my 8920 can't accept new display driver? for e.g. when 178 driver came out n i tried to install, my monitor just went blank after the installation. So i had to enter safe mode to installed my previous driver (which is 177. My friend sent it to me). Same thing happened to 180.70 driver. Why is this happening?

    I've got no idea, but any number of things could be happening.
    Did you get and use the modded INF? (if you needed to)
    Did you uninstall the previous driver?
    Did you use software like DriverCleaner to get rid of any cruft left behind by the previous driver?

    I'd say you should ask on LV2Go.
