    Hi to everyone, i just got the Asus G50VT-A1 and so far so good. I need your inputs on the video drivers, i've been to laptopvideo2go.com and i can't grasp which driver is best suited for the Nvidia 9800 GS.

    That's why my post is to get your feedback on which one you guys recommend.

    All comments are welcomed. Thank you in advance!

    Dox Optimized 182.46

    This produces the smoothest and best overall results.
    Some other drivers produce slightly better highs and slightly better benchmark scores, but these are the most stable and produce the best minimum frame rates for me.

    ive found 182.46 to drop a lot lower than drivers like 182.08 in CoD4, especially lighting-intense scenes

    182.08 being really really unstable with 9700mGT...
    You're talking about those Quaddro drivers on LV2Go, are you ?

    I would go to the Nvidia site and download their latest drivers.

    Yep, Dox are the best. Just make sure to use driver sweeper when installing, as it makes an enormous difference.

    A noobie question, when I uninstall the original drivers, do I have to uninstall all of them or just the display drivers?
