X205 Sli Best Video Driver

To the owners of the x205 Sli series, What is the best video driver that delivers excellent frame rates at maxed out settings?

I own an X205 sli1 and right now I'm using the 174.31 drivers from laptopvideo2go. I've tried 174.74 but found that it's similar to 174.31 as far as perceptible frame rates. Right now it pushes all my games at max settins without the graphics getting choppy except for Oblivion with all settings maxed and antiailising set to 8, it struggles but if I take out aa, then it's smooth.

I want to get Crysis so if anyone tried different drivers with it what is the fastest most stable driver I can use to upgrade gaming performance?

 

169.xx series gave me the best framerates with crysis, although that game has an unfair advantage since those drivers were specifically created to perfrom for crysis.

 

What about call of duty 4? I play that game a lot and with the current drivers the graphics are silky smooth with settings at max without aa. How does 169.xx drivers perform on Call of Duty 4 and other modern games, is it better than 174.31?

 

Okay, in my experience, 169.xx drivers do give Crysis a 'mild' boost. I wouldn't say amazing, but certainly good. However, with other games, I tend to favour the newer drivers. When using 169.xx drivers--relative to 174.xx--I noticed frame-rates drop by a significant margin while playing Clive Barker's Jericho. Of course, I tend to have this annoying compulsion with using 2 x AA and max resolution.

I don't know - they all seem kinda' close, so far.

 

I used the 174.93 drivers when I still had Vista and now I use the 175.63 drivers with XP. As far as I percieve them, the 174/175 drivers do really well on the stock core clock and I get 95% of the same performance if I just leave the core clock alone and bump up the shader to 1280-1300MHz and memory clock to 840 [1680MHz] as I would if I did that OC and OC the core clock as well. It also stays a lot cooler.

 

So there's no perceptible difference between 174 series and the newest drivers? Also do you know if Toshiba is ever going to release updated video drivers of their own?

 

so anyone try the 177.35 drivers? I wanted to upgrade from 174.31 since I had that for awhile now and want to squeeze out more performance from my gpus, but haven't done a driver upgrade in a long time. So can someone refresh me on what is the toshiba oem inf and how to get it. I already downloaded the 177.35 driver to a folder on my desktop and also downloaded the modified inf file that was to the right of the driver and put it in the same folder and I already did the self extraction for the driver. I just need help with using the correct inf before I go ahead with the have disk method.
