    Hey people,
    I have a quick question.
    Can I install the latest drivers from nvidia website, or I have to stick with those from clevo website, which are outdated?
    Im asking this because i have heard that sometimes there can be compatibility issues.

    question is how long have you had your lappy?
    if its new its best to keep what was pre loaded by your oem as these will have been tested for your model.

    ive been updating drivers for the last 6 years and i done exactly what your asking when i got my p150 in august and i had major problems and the only way to rectify the problem was a system restore.

    once the lappy is over 4-6 months old then you might as well update to the latest whql but avoid the beta drivers.
    its pure trial and error and we never know if new drivers are going to help or not until we load them.

    i try to post up the latest drivers on the clevo thread and gaming thread as soon as they are released so its the best place to download them from as the early loaders will leave feedback if they are good or not.

    There's no guarantee from a reseller/OEM that a later driver - WHQL or beta - will work or not. Typically you shouldn't run into issues with drivers tested by other users and known to be working. You take your chances with beta drivers more than anything else, but you can always reinstall the known working driver from the OEM/reseller if another driver doesn't work out.
