    Is there a way to mod the Quadro 140M into an ~8400M GS or are there 3rd party drivers that work better for games? Like the source engine (half life 2, tf2, left 4 dead.. etc...)

    AFAIK, you can use Geforce Drivers on a Quadro. ;)

    ...Try installing regular Geforce Drivers on it. im not sure if it works, but ive seen it here that you can use the Geforce Drivers on a Quadro. :eek:

    the genuine Geforce drivers did not work.

    I'll try laptopvideo2go.

    replace 174.xx with 185.xx and it should be fine.

    with the 185.85 laptopvideo2go drivers and the user modded INF, the Quadro NVS-###M runs GeForce 8M drivers.

    I could be wrong, but I though you could flash these to GeForce's...
