graphics driver for Acer 5920G

I have Acer 5920G (T7300, 8600M GT). So far (due to help of this forum's participants ) I have used modded graphics driver 158.45 (from laptopvide2go.com site). They are stable, but there are some problems (with Oblivion and Dark Crusade). Therefore I think about upgrading the drivers. Which version are you using and which could you recommend as stable and "enough" fast? The newest 163.69? 163.44? Mobile 156.64? (of course I think about modded versions from laptopvideo2go). Any help would be appreciated.

 

163.69 or 163.71 but I prefer 163.69.It's stable for me & good game performance

 

First of all, do you overclock? Those newer 16x.xx driver do not support overclocking.

If you're considering newer ver of driver and still with the ability to overclock.

Refer here.

 

No, I don't OC.

 

They do support overclocking; its just that you will have to use ntune (from nvidia) or a third party utility such as rivatuner; but thats beside the point .

I would get the newest drivers available to you seeing as your graphics card is a reasonably new part new fixes will be introduced at every release.

 

I have tried 163.69 (modded - laptopvideo2go). In 3dmark06 there is slight change on "minus" (158.45 - about 3230, 163.69 - about 3210) but it may be "statistical error". I have also installed additional hotfix for 163.x drivers:

I will see how it works.

 

The most stable of the new ones for me are the 163.69.

The 163.71 gave me problems with the Bioshock Demo, it started windowed, and did not exit smoothly, reguardless of what setting i had it on.

 

all my games crash if i dont use the driver it come with

im using the latest driver at the moment and call of duty 2 keeps crashing

 

163.69 have shutter issue with NFS Most Wanted
Sometimes Game stuck for 2-3 sec or app close without any error msg
