    I recently purchased a dell 9300 with the 6800go gpu. But i am having trouble installing the latest drivers. Every time i try to install a driver set i get the following error messege
    "The NVIDIA setup program could not locate any drivers that are compatible with your current hardware. setup will now exit."
    I dont know if im just trying the wrong drivers over and over or what. Any tips/help would be awesome. thanks

    The stock drivers don't detect mobile cards correctly. Although there is a way to force installation, it'd be better to just use the Omega Drivers.
