    Hey All,

    For the past couple of months I've stopped searching for new video drivers for my 5796 (M570TU) as all the 18x's seem to have sleep/external monitor/video crashing issues with my laptop. Hell, even Nvidia's mobile beta releases don't seem to like the Clevo 9800MGTX. It has never ceased to amaze me how many of you with Clevo/Sagers use the 180s without a problem :) However, I digress...


    Anyway, I've stuck with Dox's 178.13 (optimized for clevo's) for over 6 months now without a problem to be seen. Granted it doesn't give the best speed scores, but it does what its suppose to do! Coming back into the fold, I've noticed a new driver 179.27, supposedly from Clevo.

    Anyone have any luck with this one? I would like to think there would be no sleep issues, etc as it's coming from the source.

    Thanks for any info. It's always appreciated.

    It's my stock driver with my new NP5797. Runs well, but I've switched to Dox's 182.46 and haven't had any issues, and I gained some frames for Crysis.
