    G9800M GT
    HDD 320GB@7200RPM
    Memory 4GB
    Screen WUXGA

    I would recommend the Dox Custom Forceware as many people have reported higher FPS, and smoother gameplay. The package includes all the video settings like the normal Forceware, but has tweaked drivers.

    What is Babylon and is it using a different resolution than the native resolution?

    How do i install the new GPU driver? I have extracted the file, replaced the nf file, run setup.exe but i couldn't see it on the device manager. Do i need to delete the running driver and then install the new one?

    The other issue i had, i think was related to the DPI, have increased it... now got back to around 100dpi

    The installation is pretty straightforward, you just run the setup.exe it will then tell you that the drivers are not signed but it will give you the option to install it anyway, then at some point it is going to install the PhysX drivers but I am not sure if the setup will only install the PhysX drivers if it detects that your GPU supports PhysX. After the installation you need to reboot your machine.

    If you install the forceware drivers make sure that you read the final screen correctly because they are the same except for the text whether or not the installation was successfull.
