    Hey guys,

    i cannot update any drivers past 269.XXX because of this weird new GT555m problem, problem is BF crashes after a minute of gameplay.

    Don't know what to do.

    If you saying that you cant update pass the 269.XX then it mean the problem is because of the driver.

    For me, any driver that is after the 280.xx does not need any sort of modded .inf. Just download and install.
