    Please note that it won't support Clevo vendor branded cards as is, namely the 460M and 485M. A quick dip in the driver's infs shows this.

    If anyone wants a modded compatible inf for Clevo cards for this driver check my topic for it here

    PS. Not trying to hijack the topic, just pointing out the necessity of the modded inf for Clevo users wanting to use the generic Nvidia drivers. Thanks Patrck_744 for posting the laptopvideo2go link.

    It works like a charm on Clevo P170HM with your modified INF file. I'm testing those drivers hardly right now for stability.

    These drivers help performance a lot but it seems I can't let them go for too long gaming. Dragon Age Origins crashed after about 3 hours, not BSOD the machine just shut off, no issue with temperatures etc though...

    There are some issues on stock drivers though with frame skipping and slowdowns occasionally that these took care of.
