    Well, it doesn't let me install the last drivers (280.26):

    "This graphics driver could not find compatible graphics hardware."

    Well? by the way. I have 267.54.

    What should I do?
    (&Which driver should I download for the best performance?)


    Thanks for help.

    with 267.54 I have 1850P on 3DMark11.

    You need a modded inf file. Member Kingpinzero has made a tutorial on how to install the driver using modified inf files. Sorry for not providing the link. I'm online via my phone.

    The guide is in my sig, that should explain how to remove your current gpu driver and use a newer one with a modded inf.
    Btw stay away from 280.26 as it's laregely unstable,use latest 285.27 beta which provide a good performance boost.
