    Have you tried these? Do they work on Qosmios?

    Yes, and YES!! :D I did notice that some games (NFS: Most wanted, Homefront) the games seem crisper.

    Works fine on my x505-q850. Haven't seen anything special. Some nvidia updater in my icon notification area that wasn't there before.

    I was kinda suspicious about this, and after downloading I'm getting a warning that this driver could be malicious ware from MSE.

    I think that is because it is unofficial, and some kind of 'modded'.

    Unsigned drivers always prompt about things like that. You can grab "modded" drivers for your notebook at www.laptopvideo2go.com In fact, if you watch there, you'll find out MORE drivers than what you find other places. :)

    One more thing about lv2g site. They have modified DESKTOP drivers too. If you like Bluray playback and stuff, you might want to stick with the notebook drivers only, if you don't care and only going for gaming performance, feel free to try out the desktop modded ones!
