    I've been using a modded driver for win 7 for some time, but I can't find one at all for win 8...

    all other drivers have installed without issue and the OS is impressively fluid on my laptop, but of course graphic performance is horrendous on the integrated Intel HD card...

    Hardware IDs :

    DEV_1212 SUBSYS_04BA1028

    if anyone has infos how to make this work, or even a modded driver, thanks for your help.
