    I'm lookingfor the best set of drivers for Win 7 64bit. The latest set are 186.08 but do these have powermiser? I'd like a set whcih downclock the GPU when not under load.

    All the Vista 32bit 185s didn't work for the m15x so I'm assuming the Win 7 versions don't either ...

    So, best ones to go with are the 181.72? Does anyone know if these work and have powermiser?

    Hi Whizz,

    Yeah, that's where I was looking. But which ones are the best? The latest don't have powermiser - you really need it for an m15x.

    You still using win7 x64 with your m15x? Which drivers you using?

    Cheers

    umm, still the stock ones i think (182 something). i don't really game much on that partition. i'm using Dox' 185.20 on my vista partition, working just fine with downclocking and everything.

    Totally off topic - sorry. But what anti virus are you using on your Vista x86 and what you using on your Win 7?
