    Where can I get the most recommended driver for my VC to optimize its performance?

    Is laptopvideo2go the way to go? Just uninstall current driver, download latest, extract, replace with modded INF, then run setup.exe? As simple as that?

    TIA for the replies!

    Are the DOX's customized for Clevo laptop drivers different from those downloaded in laptopvideo2go.com website?

    yes they are the dox release are optimized for quality or performance they have many tweaks and they are very good and if you want to know what will be the best driver for your needs you just have to test few and to see what version is best for you dont wait someone to tell you

    Yes, that's why I didn't ask about the "best". I was asking about the "recommended" driver, lol. But which is preferrable, the dox optimized or the mobilenvidia (with modded inf) ??

    And are the notebook drivers in the official nvidia website not good?

    best is to use laptopvideo2go.com drivers because with modded inf they support all nvidia cards and if the original driver have some bugs they fix them the dox driver are optimized you have to install them to see what you like

    The official driver available on nvidia's website is quite good. I've some problems when utilising dox's drivers, the newer releases that is.

    The problem is that, in certain games, like fallout 3 and red alert 3, the memory clock of my GPU will not kick into 'extra' mode, as in it remains 300 throughout the gaming session until I apply the correct clock via ntune.

    Try DOX 185.20. Its has been the better driver for me. It runs Warhead very smoothly. Like gangsta1 said...you have to try them to see what you like.
