    Could someone please explain the drivers available at www.laptopvideo2go.com, and how are these drivers different from the ones at www.nvidia.com?

    What are the benefits provided by downloading the drivers from laptopvideo2go.com?

    Thanks.

    They are completely stock. The only difference is that they require a modified .inf to be replaced with the stock desktop .inf.

    Since nvidia doesn't support laptop video cards, I don't think using their official drivers will even work. The benefit of going with newer drivers over the drivers available from your manufacturer are they are often newer and thus perform much better. Unfortunately, I've had a few problems with a few of laptopvideo2go's modified .inf's so you might have to do some experimenting with them to see which version works best for you.

    There are also the tweaksrus drivers, which I think are modified for better performance as well. Although I don't prefer them because they lack the stock look of the laptopvideo2go drivers.
