    I am really sorry if this has been asked before or not but I wasnt able to turn anything up.. I have a Sager NP8278S with the 880m in it and i was wondering if it would be better to get the drivers straight from Nvidia or should i use Sagers off their website? I know how some laptop manufacture's video cards actually run better off the manufacture's drivers (some times regular Nvidia ones will cause BSOD) Thanks!

    Install the original set and put nvidia's latest over the top. Stick to whql sets for best stability.

    You can always switch back if the Sager ones run better.

    with a new computer i would stick with the original drivers already loaded as they will have been tested to be the most stable for your 880 for now.
    also stay with WHQL as lately some BETA drivers have not been as stable as previous ones.

    i do try and post any new releases of nvidia drivers on here and the gaming thread so keep an eye out for reports from the update junkys who leave feedback and then you can decide if its worth updating or not.

    Awesome thanks for the all the replies. Im going to update them now. I know the 880m is still a new card so that is why i was getting concerned as to the possibility of future drivers really opening the high end up on it.
