    Hey,

    Did you read ?
    Those drivers are for desktops, not for ours laptops :/


    About Realtek I don't know.
    But you should download from Realtek instead of anywhere.
    => Audio drivers available for download from the Realtek website

    @+ ;)

    Err..I'm running 280.36 dev drivers OGL4.2.
    doesn't matter if those are for desktop or not, just grab a modded inf from laptopvideo2go and you'll be fine.

    They works ok,some of DeusEx stuttering has been fixed, it's more stable than whql 280.26.
    I advice to try them out, they're great.

    Grab the driver here:

    http://download.laptopvideo2go.com/nvidia/280series/28036_win7x64.exe

    right click on it-> extract to 28036_win7x64 (or just double click on it).

    grab the modified inf here: http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/infs/280series/28036_win7x64/nv_disp.inf

    copy and paste in Display.display folder in the extracted archive.
    Overwrite the existing file.

    Remember to perform a clean install by Driver Sweeper method in safe mode, then with nvidia setup program->customize installation->perform clean installation.

    Thats all :)

    Newest official are 280.26, which installed with zero issues for me on a clean install-no gimmicks, no hacks.

    So the 280.36 works eh? I dint read the desktop GPU part. Thought it was for laptop GPUs as well. Seems it works fine. Will try installing it when i get back home to my laptop.
