    Hi all,
    i know its an outdated card but that's all i have for now, and im looking to update the driver from 314.22.

    I was wondering if someone can suggest a stable driver i can use, iv'e tried to google for the answer but didnt manage to find the answer.

    Iv'e found some sites that offer 3rd party drivers, on some the latest is the 337.88 and on others 341.44 but with no comment so i can be sure if they work or not.
    The latest driver from laptopvideo2go is 305.53 if i enter the search parameters.

    This is the only system i have (17x R1) and i try to avoid doing the trial and error method so i wont risk damaging the card (read some old post about bad upgrade results from unstable drivers).

    So if someone can suggest a good driver it'll be much appreciated!

    win 7
    17x R1
    single gtx260m

    tnx.
