Noob question : Update graphic driver?

Last time I checked I had a desktop PC So please help me refresh my memory.

Updating my G50v's graphics drivers. I have a Geforce 9700m GT 512MB.

According to the latest download here:
http://laptopvideo2go.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=23661

It doesnt support my 9700? Is that right? Which one should I get?

Many thanks

 

Try it with your 9700M GT, it should work anyway.

 

Nvidia supports mobile GPU's now. Try their drivers.

Thanx Buhdahl! Sent you PM.

 

if youre looking for the best performance, try the 185(.86) desktop branch from lv2g, http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/forum/index.php?showforum=139 (use the inf from http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=23696 rather than the one at the top of the page). almost 7150 in 3dmark06 (xp pro 64, CPU @ 2.9, GPU @ 725/1800/1035).
cod4 >50 usually, some lighting intense scenes drop to 35.
cs >60 with all settings maxed at all times.
hdmi/audio work.

 

I am downloading what you suggested. I really hope it works, will let you know if I got the HDMI working. Thanx.

 

if you're running vista, use this inf instead of the one above: http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=23755

 

Tried 3 different drivers from laptopvideo2go... nothing worked. All difference it made was: When I play a movie, quality is very crappy, looks like small squares (pixelated) all over the movie!!

Will try this INF file as final resort. If this does NOT work, I will have to test my laptop, cable and LCD screen seperately and find out where the problem lies. Thanks for your help so far.

EDIT: OK I have tried enough drivers of laptopvideo2go and nothing worked... downloading from Nvidia site now, 179.48... If this does not work, then definetely something else is wrong! Cant believe Im struggling so much! It must be something faulty somewhere... I cant sleep at night... mohahaha (evil laugh) I have to conquer my problem! <evil laugh> Im starting to go crazy now...

EDIT ADDED: GREAT STILL MY MOVIES LOOK C R @ P..............! Does someone want a free G50V laptop? .....nah Im not giving up yet!

 

im guessing youre playing the stuff through WMP. see if it happens with other players like Media Player Classic or VLC. it could also be the movie itself thats bad quality.

its also possible that the tv has issues with DHCP, so if possible try with another tv.

 

HDMI still not working. My movies look pixelated on WMP and VLC player. I know the movies is good quality cause it works on my other Sony XP. Any quick fix to the pixelated video on my laptop?

 

you could try installing a codec pack (google k-lite or cccp), but i dont think itll do anything. never had that problem.

 

VLC 0.0.9 is crappy, does not work. I use DivX. It works. My movies is okay now.
