    hmmm...i'm currently using 260.99.

    if this 266.35 driver installs without any modifications, i might have to check em out for my 480m.

    So far it hasn't crashed. The modified 260.99 driver did crash a few times so, plus the fact that I can change brightness now, it's a good change.
    Although I quite honestly didn't see a performance increase.

    i was having a weird driver crash problem so i decided to download these off the nvidia site. they're working flawlessly so far. not sure if there was any FPS improvements, but i think my GPU temps dropped a bit. i just got done playin SC2 for about an hour and my GPU only maxed out at 56*c.
