    Hey, Sorry if this has been asked before but i can't seem to find a definitive answer...

    What are the best performing Nvidia drivers ?
    I've tried

    Dell - 186.64 (Best performing that i've tried in real world gaming, Poor 3dmark scores)
    Nvidia - 195.62 (Had the occasional crash due to these and performance was lackin a bit.)
    LV2G - 186.13 - (Again similar to the above 186.xx)
    aswell as seveal other variations.

    I've seen a few people running Dox's 195.62, Are these any better then the above ?

    Thanks. :)

    Is there a thread like the one for the M9750 listing what drivers work best on what OSs? If not i may compile them here.

    http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/drivers

    Also just for reference, What sort of FPS do people get when playing games like Crysis Warhead ?
    I'm getting roughly 20-40 fps usually near the lower end with everything on Enthusiast, is this about right ?

    ---

    Tried 186.82, I find they give a little less performance then 186.64 so i haven reverted for now.
