    Helo everyone,

    firstly I am proud to be member of such a community. Many of people I know(from Czech Republic) are getting registred and use this forum as the most reliable source of advices, information and trobleshooting on the internet.(my opinon). I have been reading here about 5 months. Registred just last week.

    Now my question.

    I purchased EUROCOM M860TU. Couple days ago I reported here some issues.
    Today, I found out that:
    My rig works on its full performance only with Eurocom stock drivers 176.02

    When I install drivers from nVIdia (179.28) my rig peformance is like I am running it on battery only ( which Im not, I am on cable) and getting about 3-40003DMarks 2006.

    The same problem with dox 180.43 drivers.

    I just cant force this machine to perform about 9K in 3Dmark on any driver except my old stock one. I feel very poor, because these are kinda outdated. I have lower perfomance in 3D mark and even in games(new drivers are released due to fixing bugz and enhancing performance right?)

    Every 3DMARK run on non-stock drivers is like battery perfomance, I tried to disconnect adapter, changing profiles in Vista and cant get it out of it.

    I think nobody here uses stock drivers on such laptop.

    Have anyone experienced something similar?

    Thank you for reading this and any suggestion are very appreciated.
