    ...Dox's voids your warranty? The first I ever heard of that!
    And how on earth would they be able to determine that? It's software, and one that can very easily be removed.
    Acer wouldn't be so anal as to prevent you from using whatever video driver you want.

    Awake, have you looked into the notebook drivers that Nvidia themselves have provided, 179.28?

    I should actually make a single post showing where to find every Acer-released driver I've found.

    Dox's drivers don't actually "overclock" your graphics card - they simply optimize the drivers that it uses to improve performance. Thus, no warranty voiding.

    I'll get to work on that post soon - it just means I need to dig through the Acer Euro FTP again, along with all the fun that includes.
