Right, I think I might be just being a little stupid, but I cannot seem to install the Nvidia drivers?

I have just brought an Nvidia 770M (to replace my AMD 5850M). All fitted and showing in GPU-Z and HWINFO. Ive displayed on board audio (will come to that problem when I get past this one), and Ive download the drivers from 'laptopvideo2go', but cant seem to get past the Nvidia 'Nvidia installer could not find compatible hardware'.

Do I need to do anything else with a modded inf file?

The 770M is pulled from a new Alienware 17, so is a dell card.

Right, figured out how to mod the inf file, all installed and working!

Quick 5 minute campaign on Battlefield 4 looking at 50-60 fps (1600*900), keeping an eye on temperature though, already at 88 degrees..

NICE! I'm glad you got it to work with that. Modifying the INF will be common for you from now on
