    Tried searching LV2G, and hear, but couldn't find it. What's the best driver performance wise for the 8400M GT?

    Well I'm an idiot... I downloaded 163 because I thought my card had to be listed to be compatible.

    Your GPU is compatible. If you look in the modified INF they provide, you'll find it.

    Try the latest Nvidia driver - 169.28

    What is the performance difference between 169 and 163? A noticeable one?

    Well, less game crashing, some better performance/IQ in Crysis/COD4, etc.

    TBH, it's wise just to upgrade to the latest Nvidia driver (for Vista). They keep getting better and better (for the most part).

    Thanks man, I'll update soon. Trying to get WoW to install correctly. For such a great game, Blizzard is a crock of ****.

    Rep'd!
