    Hey all, was just watching a video review of the 81** series and the narrator said that since Nvidia does not support the GTXs used in Sagers you cannot use the standard Nvidia download drivers... is this true???

    Short answer:
    No, it's not true.

    Long answer:
    It was only the case for a period of time before the Sager/Clevo OEM GPU id's and settings were added to the official Nvidia notebook drivers, before then it was still possible to use them but with a modded inf adding support for missing cards.

    The current Nvidia notebook driver supports all current GPU's used in these models.
