    I was wondering which video card driver I should install for the NP8170. I have the 580M and I read that the newest driver is not always best.
    Should I install the latest driver on Nvidia's website? Or on Sagers website?


    Also does anyone know how to change forum signatures?

    The driver on the Clevo site or on the driver disk has been tested and should be stable. However, it's going to be quite a number of months out of date. The latest WHQL drivers on the Nvidia site tend to be pretty reliable, and I'd recommend using those first. The Beta drivers can be hit or miss.
