    My Sager NP9758-S (Clevo P750DM) has the Geforce GTX 980M and the GeForce Experience says that the 354.09 driver is up to date. But trying to start EA SW Battlefront says I need 358.50 or higher.

    Ok, check for updates and GeForce says there isn't any. Go to nvidia wensite and down the latest game ready drivers which goes up to 358.91. try to install and it says "the graphics driver could not find compatible graphics hardware"

    Can anyone explain what I'm doing wrong or what is wrong?

    thx

    He probably needs a modded INF for that system would be my guess.

    Exactly that, the P750DM-G models are still not supported in latest nvidia drivers.

    Just download them from the nvidia/geforce website and mod the inf with the corresponding hw id.

    Or you can take the moded inf from laptopvideo2go website.

    laptopvideo2go has the same large driver and the inf file?

    EDIT: Never mind. Figured it out. Thx!

    EDIT2: looks like it wouldn't install with the new inf in there. Going to download the driver from them too.

    Hey guys thanks for the help. I copied over the modded info which gets me past the system check but then it says it failed to install the driver. the inf they have is the "nv_dispi"

    Is there another inf I have to modify. Is this one only for display or something?

    I got it from here

    That is the correct file.
    In order to install with the moded inf you need to restart the computer with driver signature enforcement OFF.
    Press Start -> type "advanced" and select change advanced startup options.In that window just select Restart , under Advanced options. From there on, just follow the instructions to disable signature enforcement.
