    Hey all
    I have got an m860tu that has a 9800m GT graphics card. I was wondering what the best drivers are for it at this time. Does anyone know anything about drivers, because I have no idea what Im talking about here.
    I wish I could tell you what drivers I have presently, but I do not remember how to check.
    Is there one set of drivers that is better than the rest?

    Well the best place to get drivers is laptopvideo2go.com and on the right hand side it will show what the latest driver is. Now I don't have the same card as you but the 183.43 is what I am using on a 7950gtx and games run great.

    Now because you have a mobile card you will want to download the provided .inf file off the above site and replace the original. Both downloads links are next to each other and this will allow you to install the drivers on your laptop.

    To find out your current drivers and clock speeds then just download and run GPU-Z which will quickly tell you everything about your card.

    Thanks to all that have posted. I was wondering if there is a guide on how to change drivers up on here, and if so whether someone would mind linking me to it. Thanks
