    Ive been using default drivers that came with my laptop . I got it in January so I was wondering if there are any better/more stable new drivers for this video card . I am referring to these forums since a lot of you use the same computer as i do .
    Decided to reformat and see if i can find better video drivers . Thanks for replies .

    I use 175.95, really unless you having certain issues with newer games or a driver issue with certain game, then most drivers will perform almost exactly the same.

    Yeah... agreed! Drivers within a particular series would have very little differences. But entirely new series themselves bring new features. Like the 175.xx series brings 3DMark Vantage optimization. 177.xx series brings PhysX (which didn't arrive on mobile chipsets though).

    Does the NVidia Control Panel function with 177.79? In Vista x64? I'm using 175.95, and it works great for me. 3DMark-06 = 9352. Probably no point in upgrading to 177.79.
