    I thought Whisper Mode was coming at 384.52. Nvidia lies all the time..

    So cool, how this Whisper mode will work? What it will do? Capturing FPS? I'm already doing that at 30fps, that really makes laptop running cooler.

    I hope it reduces the voltage and boost curve. So that I can further reduce temps. I can already play everything at gsync refresh of 60 fps. I want to further reduce power consumption while maintaining that 60fps

    Download the drivers.
    Extract drivers to a folder.
    Drag and drop the modded INFs into the display.driver folder.
    Uninstall existing nvidia drivers.
    Reboot into safe mode.
    Clear pc of any residual driver files with DDU.
    Reboot with driver signing enforcement disabled.
    Install drivers and click install anyway when an error message appears.
    Reboot and you're good to go.

    What does this INF file do more than the standard one bro?

    I have an MSI laptop, where do I place the file?

    also, if I do place the file, will I need to disable Driver Signature for it to install?

    I just tried copy/pasting those INF files in the display.driver folder, when I tried installing the driver, it showed me a 3D Vision Controller Driver v369 which is much older than the actual driver

    Edit: Driver installation failed. Nevermind

    I see you have replaced PhysX with the older one. Better than the latest PhysX - 9.17.0527 ? Or a bug in Released Notes?

    I still need to do another comparison but this driver has cause some strange CPU usage in BF1, I also dropped 78 points in my FS but I would think that's in the margin of error.

    operative word being "may"....not "will". may implies a chance of it happen though you implied a guarantee it will fail.

    This driver is not as good for BF1. I posted the crazy CPU usage last night and this morning I reverted to 382.53 and it is much better. Here is the data I just collected.

    I notice that it won't auto update if the drivers are not signed as I've never had nvidia drivers auto update.

    I don't think GFE auto-updates anything. You can tell it to download them for you, that's about it. I believe you have to trigger the install yourself.

    You could try newest @j95 mod 385.41 drivers if you haven't seen it.

    Edit. Forget it as I can see you posted there.
