    What's the problem between NVIDIA and Clevo?...I would like to have updated driver for mine M570U and VISTA Ultimate,...like DELL does, but this seems not "working" between Clevo and Nvidia, why they don't release regular video driver like the desktop counterpart?...I've contact NVIDIA technical support and they told me that Clevo doesn't want them release on Nvidia web site the Go family updated driver, and contact Clevo for latest release,...ok but on their website the driver are "old" and we need the newer one for VISTA since they are full of bug and performing really bad :rolleyes:

    I've yet to use a clevo sourced video driver, and I have no intention of ever using manufacturer sourced video drivers if I can help it.

    The drivers referenced by blueyedsoul are the ones to use, period, end of story. They are largely just nVidia reference drivers with a modified .inf that allows them to be installed on your machine. In many cases, there are no substantive differences from the ones nVidia would release for that hardware.

    I'm using the nvidia 158.16 drivers from Tweak R Us.. I had to actually edit the inf file to support the card. working like a charm and stable as can be.

    I never used drivers that were just labeled official unless it was from ATI.. and ATI was mainly because I found I didn't need to tweak as much to get what I wanted out of their drivers.. or were harder to come by.
