im running the latest WHQLand they are fine for my 680 so give these a go http://forum.notebookreview.com/sag...nvidia-whql-331-65-released-mon-28th-oct.html

hope all goes smoothly.

 

1. Just use uninstall from add/remove program to remove the old driver
2. I'm using 331.65 with modded inf from http://forum.notebookreview.com/sag...-installed-oced-lets-have-98.html#post9427528

If the driver install mess up, you can just remove it in safe mode and install another one. Once you can boot with the card you are safe.

 

Since you are installing new nvidia drivers doing a super clean install is not required.

 

how to install with modded inf ? sorry n00b question...

my gtx 680m is a clevo card no worries

 

me never used modified so cant help there but this is where you get them LaptopVideo2Go: NVIDIA & Laptop News

 

You go into the c drive where nvidia drivers extracted itself go into international and then driver folder where all the inf files are. Then copy/paste the new inf in there(overwrite old file) and then retry the setup.exe on previous folder. It should now work and voila your good to go and install the new drivers

 

If you are running windows 8 you need to advance restart with signing disabled too.

 

running win 7 ..installed 331.65 with modded inf ..

just one more q...i cant flash the vbios for gtx 680m in p170hm any more right ? so can i oc the gtx 680m by how much 80.04.29 bios?

 

You can edit the existing bios but you can not use a later revision.

 

MSI 80.04.33.00.24 is also compatible with P1xxHm model....

 

Oh well that's good too then.

As a general rule editing your own bios is always the safest option.
