Nvidia 140m Vista update

Did anyone else receive this update yesterday via windows update for the 140m? It was 50mb big so I am assuming it helped with something. Does anyone know what this fixed?

 

its an optional update so it should not have gotten sent to you unless you clicked the box for it. i never trust the drivers from windows update personally.

 

Me neither if I'm not having problems with windows I don't even touch windows update.

 

umm yeaa. I wish I would have taken that advice. I now experience sluggishness 100% of the time in the menus of CSsource and HL2. It was fine before and can play both games fine. I mean there hasn't really been any updatesfor the 140m on vista so i figured it could be important, I dont think thats hard to understand if your a 140m owner.

 

install the bioshock drivers from www.laptopvideo2go.com and see how those run.

 

Yes try the drivers that ocellaris is suggesting you will have to read their FAQ and figure out how to go about it, but those are the 140M drivers I'm using and they are the best I've found whether you are running bioshock or not.

 

I am using the driver in this update. It is good! Even faster than 165.01, with none of the problems. I was using 163.44 and the previous stock Lenovo driver.

Unless this thing starts burping, I will stick with this.

 

This is the the driver that I am am referring to right? If it is, It seems fine in viewing non-3d apps. But have you tried running any 3d apps of any kind?

 

Sort of. I don't do any gaming. I use scientific 3-D graphics a little; there is a lightintg/shading/animation piece of the benchmark I run, and it is a little slow for that. On the other hand this new one is faster in the "Windows Experience Score" both for the desktop and 3-D categories than 163.44 was.

 

Windows Experience score is basically useless, so do not worry about that.

 

Does anyone know what this update fixes?

 

For a lot of things I do it's faster than the previous Lenovo driver.
