    Has anyone used the official NVidia drivers that were just released a month ago, the 179.48 notebook drivers off their website? I'm currently using the 180.84 off laptopvideo2go.com and they've been working fine for me. Has anyone tried the official NVidia drivers and seen a increase/decrease in performance on their rigs? I currently use the 5793 w/ 8800GTX.

    no point in using non-official drivers anymore.

    The official driver will run better.

    The only reason to use anything else is if you're on Windows 7, in which case a 182 driver is ideal.
