    Sorry if this has been posted...couldn't find it if it has.

    Vista/Win7 32: http://www.nvidia.com/object/notebook_winvista_win7_195.55_uk.html

    Vista/Win7 64: http://www.nvidia.com/object/notebook_winvista_win7_x64_195.55_uk.html

    Have only played Dragon Age with them (cause I'm addicted early on :D ), but have gained a few FPS and temps slightly cooler.

    Apparently there is a newer physx release as well. Based on release dates it is probably incorporated into these drivers, but here is a download link for it as well:

    Because even though they aren't listed as such, they are currently non-WHQL, BETA drivers. Therefore, they aren't searchable the normal way. This will change if they get certed.

    This driver is buggy even it's performance is good.
    Some people complain about texturing errors and some complain about the brightness problem of the screen.
    I tested it, and I found the brightness problem affected me as well. LOL.
    Meanwhile, the BEST driver is 186.82 for me. 186.81 works sucks for me.
