    How do i do this? Im trying to install version 353.00 and im not sure how to allow it to install, i used laptopvideo2go to install driver 358.91 which includes the modded inf already made, but i am noticing throttling when running benchmarks, so i was going to downgrade it, as suggested by a member on this fourm, i currently have a 970m 6gb card.

    Are you sure the throttling is caused by the driver and not by the vBIOS? I'm pretty sure throttlign is almost always if not always caused by the vBIOS...

    Edit: Oh, you're on Prema's vBIOS, it shouldn't be throttling then...
