    Hello clever folks.

    I have m17 x4.
    Originaly i had ati 7950m card. It died. I replaced it with geforce 980m.
    All is good, up to a point.

    My last Drivers are 399.24. And thats that. I cant install newer drivers. Windows incompatable or something.
    My screen is 60 if that has any relevance.

    Any idea how to update drivers. Trying to play cod war zone but cant. Drivers are to old.

    thx. 446.14 is working fine.
    sadly i cant figure out why cod is not starting. directx is throwing an error. its either related to intel gpu or lazy programing on game creators. either way i gave up on it and deleted it since.
