What graphics driver for Sager 5791 w/ 7950 GTX?

Hey all, my Sager 5791 finally arrived here in Afghanistan yesterday after only 16 days! I was extremely suprised/happy. I've been messing with it in my free time the past day and was wondering what kind of graphics drivers to use. Here in Afghanistan my Internet sucks... it'll take me a good 2 weeks of coming to the MWR and using a resume-support download manager to download a 20-30mb file. So as you can see I don't have the luxury of downloading multiple drivers and testing out which is best. I've never used 3rd party graphics card drivers so I know nothing about them. Saw on the website something about modded INF files? Whatever that means! Heh, so I guess I'm asking for which graphics driver I should get, and how I should install it.

Here are my specs:

Core 2 Duo T7700 @ 2.4 GHz
2gb (2x1gb) PC5300 DDR2 Kingston Memory
GeForce Go 7950GTX w/ 512mb DDR3
160gb 7200rpm HD
Windows XP Pro

So yeah, any pointers would be great, I'm using the stock drivers that the system came with right now and I've heard that the performance increase can be pretty huge with the custom drivers.

Oh yeah, and if anyone knows the best cooling mat to use for this beast... it can get pretty hot in my hooch.

Thanks in advance,

101.45 work fine for me. i suggest those. i don't believe they are the ones on the driver disk.

 

Follow our driver update guide to get the latest drivers on your system:

Hm, obviously you didn't read a word of my post. I know all about laptopvideo2go, I'm asking for which specific driver would be best for my system because I can't just test out different ones, and I don't have the internet time available to research a bunch of stuff on my own. I get like 30 minutes a day, I'm asking for some help for people who have a similar system.

 

i am currently using the 163.71 drivers from laptopvideo2go.com and have no had any problems at all. the one thing i don't like is the numbering scheme. i used the 163.71 because someone told me they were newer than the 165.01 drivers. no clue how the numbering is done, but the 163.71 drivers are working fine for me on my 5790 with 7950GTX card.

 

have to forgive the moderator, they often spam their own websites with useless post like that.
163.74 works very nice but you wont be able to overclock. 158.45 is probably the best driver you can overclock.

 

I'm using 163.76 (the latest one, for some reason by using Riva Tuner mine has been able to overclock in every driver (the old ones & the newer ones) I tried so far) on XP and it works great with all the new games.

 

At least I was helpful with my post. If either of you had taken the time to read the GPU driver update guide you would see that there is no 'best' driver. You would also see that I encourage people to look in the gaming forum to find out what drivers are good. There are many threads and also a lot of discussion in the driver update guide about it.

If you wish to continue this conversation, do it in the driver update guide.
