    This isn't new, it's unchanged from the beta.

    File Hippo won't provide a modified inf for notebook users.

    laptopvideo2go.com is the place to get it.

    Most users shouldn't change from Dox or 186.81/2 if you have that already.

    Why I need to download from filehippo rather than Nvidia itself?
    And I think its for desktop.

    This Driver 191.07 is for Desktop only obviously.
    LaptopVideo2Go have the modded 191.07(WHQL) for notebooks.
    However, it doesn't benefits or improve performance on most notebooks.
    Therefore, it is useless to install it.
    Get yourself 186.42, 186.81 or 186.82.
    These 3 Drivers are currently proved to be great for notebooks.

    Hey E~! Long time... ;) Is only for desktops...So sorry. :(

    Yes.,. Sorry I mucked up.

    Thanks for the Rep...It's only for *desktops*...I thought for lappys...when I posted...I'm usually pretty *thorough* :eek:

    It's obviously one's choice where to download from! *Filehippo* is safe from spyware, and it's virus free, no popups....

    And, yes...it's now known it's for desktops...But a lot of forum members still use desktops..As explained..My bad.. :(

    Anyways... it's one's choice if you want to use this version.....

    ;)

    I still feel that 191.03 is the best. Installed with modified INF, of course, since it's a desktop driver, nonetheless, the performance I've gotten out from this driver is the best I've seen so far.

    Congratulation. Your machine seems to work great with Modded Driver(desktop). However, it is minority. Not everyone can have their machines run flawlessly with Modded Driver(desktop).
    Due to it is MODDED, so, it will not be WHQL anymore.

    Meh all WHQL means is Nvidia actually paid big bucks to have the release "certified". It wasn't too long ago almost EVERYONE used modded drivers on laptops, lol. As the only "certified" drivers were the ones that came with your machine... and they were typically horribly outdated.

    And for desktops most gamers I know run betas more often than WHQL drivers. So ya... now you know. :)

    By the way, if you play mostly WOW, I wouldn't recommend you use these drivers, there seem to be some rather large flaws with the recent 190/191 drivers with a lot of cards, which can sometimes half your framerates, and make the game a lot more jerky, even on a single card setup.
    I know my own brother even verified this when I asked him to, he's gone back to 186.56 IIRC.

    Because Crysis is used as a benchmark, and beyond that isnt a hugely popular game anymore?
