Unhappy Laptop Graphics Driver Issues gaming
Hey all, I am having a problem with my graphics on my Toshiba Satellite X205-S9800 with a Nvidia Geforce 8700M GT graphics. The problem is finding stable and good performace drives for gaming. I have tried a bunch, and most are not stable. Any ideas on some solid drivers would be great. Thanks

You tried the drivers from laptopvideo2go. I've been using 178.33 or something for my 8600M GT and things have been pretty good. The 180.xx series look promising.

Which driver sets have you tried so far?

You could also try the laptopvideo2go driver search tool by entering in your PCI vendor ID details of your version.

another vote for laptopvideo2go

The 180 drivers are very nice nvidia released a WHQL final build yesterday

I know I tried the 178.33 drivers but on mine I got tons of glitches and driver crashes. I will DL the 180.xx drivers tonight and give them a try and post back.
