    Is there a database where someone keeps these Inf updated according to latest Geforce drivers?

    I have an M17 r3 with Geforce 680M (previously 580M) and I have issues installing geforce drivers without the right Inf files (I think).

    This is the farest I get when installing with a modded info file which I downloaded from

    TR2N, What exactly am I supposed to look for there?
    Either your reply was not specific enough or you just wanted to spread word about Mr Fox.

    Excellent, thank you! :)

    Only thing now is whether I should pursue the win 10 update or not. On the launcher screen it says Geforce compatibility issues.

    You could try laptopvideo2go.com but it takes some time as well for them to update there. You can learn how to modify them yourself to stop looking around for the modified INF's.
