    hi,

    i just saw a new driver realeased on laptopvideo2go only for Vista 32bit.
    but it is very strange because the number is 167 and the number before is 163? Why there is such a big gap between those two drivers?
    And why the driver is only for vista?

    Do you recommend me to install it? I have Vista 32 and a 8600gt (256, ddr2)

    No. Stick with 163.75. The one released is an older driver.

    The drivers are not released by Nvidia in some cases, and are instead modified drivers released by computer manufacturers like Dell or Toshiba.

    For instance, the 165.01 driver (I think) was the highest numerical driver until this 167.26 your mentioned, although it is almost 5 months old.

    The ACTUAL new drivers are still in the 163.XX numbers.

    I don't know why Riva tuner and nTune not works with driver 163.75. They don't monitor my GPU Temp either FPS.I tried to uninstall them,uninstall the 163.75 driver and run driver cleaner then Install them again but that didn't go throug.
