    Yes there are newer drivers for the GTX 280M. Are the newer ones better than the 186.34 WHQL and 186.35 WHQL drivers released in July? Not really.

    Just stick with 186.03, unless you want to install every hacked driver on lv2go looking for an extra 1 or 2 fps.

    the hack is ,they do not update that often drivers for mobile GPU.It is sometimes not bad to resort to desktopgpu drivers thanx to LV2go. U may only run into some troubles if U have sli or crossfire configuration.

    186.03 is a good driver, just wait until the next mobile release.
