    hello everyone ,
    I have a sony vaio and it makes me nervous for many reasons,
    but my great problem is the graphic that i can't update to play many games like ( NEED FOR SPEED - THE RUN ) etc ...
    because this game " need for speed " recommends the version 285.38 and i have only 269.73
    is there a more optimal version than I have right now ? if this is the case please give me some comments !!!
    thanks

    SONY VAIO
    - Intel Core i5-2450M CPU 2.50*2 GHz
    - 2 x 4 Go DDR3 1 333 M

    I'm assuming your laptop is a Vaio VPC EJ or EH model?

    If so, just go to geforce.com or nvidia.com (either one is the GPU centric site or main site of your GPU manufacturer, respectively), and download the appropriate driver (current stable version, 306.97).

    For your convinience, these are the latest drivers for the following:

    Windows 7 64bit ( Drivers | GeForce)
    Windows 7 32bit ( Drivers | GeForce)

    You most likely have Windows 7 64bit, however, to make sure, please do the following:
    Click Start
    Right click, "Computer"
    Click, Properties


    And the resulting window should tell you around the middle, "System Type."



    Have fun! If you don't have a Vaio EH or EJ computer, please do post your exact laptop model. Not all Vaio laptops are compatible with the latest drivers (case in point: my laptop, Vaio SA). Of course, you may always use the Vaio eSupport page (esupport.sony.com) for driver support, though Sony does take their time to getting any driver updates out there.
