    Should I do it? I've had no problems so far, but I'm interested in the positive results everyone else has gotten with the 177.92 ones, and PhysX supports seems pretty cool.

    I've already got the new drivers with the inf file on my desktop ready and waiting, just debating whether or not I should. Help?

    Here you go:

    Not sure why that thread isn't a sticky.

    Doh, sorry, didn't read that you already had the drivers. I would say to go for it. I don't know about the .92 drivers, but I know plenty of people are using newer drivers that enable PhysX and seem to be happy with them. I haven't tried them yet myself. Still using the .79 drivers.

    Is there some reason not to just use either Nvidia's official notebook drivers (which cover these Gateway systems) or force install the regular Nvidia reference drivers, instead of going through the laptopvideo2go route?
