    So tommorow Im getting my new Sager with the 8800M GTX and vista 64bit.

    What driver works best with this card? Ive been over to laptopvideo2go but am not getting much feedback.

    when i had a 8600MGT I used 169.01 with the best results, jkust wondering if anyone has suggestions for the 8800MGTX.

    Thanks let me know.

    (Remember Vista 64bit!)

    The 8800M GTX drivers for Vista 64 is just not working good yet. You are on the front end of current technology. More than likely you are going to have to wait till they come out with the new drivers. Try 169.09 I heard that it had a fix for Crysis. Refer to http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=199998&page=2

    Hope that helped some.

    Yea. I was hearing some stuff about drivers causing the cards to Underclock themselves.. Whats the deal with that? do these 169.09's do that?

    Ekayshun is right stick to the 167.43, funny thing is that when I stick a X7800 extreme processor in, my 3dmark06 also gets cut in half no matter what drivers, only in 64bit vista. And I switch to my crappy T7250 and the score grows over 8k.
