    Hey all, i was recently using the stock drivers for my asus g1s laptop, and it gave me a 3850 3d mark 06 score. However when i started playing bioshock, it kept crashing everything i tried to use a vending machine. I downloaded drivers http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/forum/index....showtopic=14562 from laptop video2go. It solved all the bioshock problems as well as increased 3d mark score to 3946.

    What i am curious about now is: Will using this drivers hurt my computer's hardware? Is it safe to use these? performance sure has increased alot and i'm a bit worried about this. I'm a total green horn to this stuff and would appreciate any help any advice. Thanks in advance ! :)

    As long as they work well, and you don't run into any random glitches/crashing, then yeah, there's absolutely no physical risk to using modified desktop drivers.

    I'm using the same drivers on my lappy, and they've worked just fine (and fixed my Bioshock crashing too :D )
