8800mGTX drivers?!

[oweneades]

Hi all,

I have received my new gaming laptop today (which is identical to the ok 770 extreme (Its a X80r from a competitor hence why I can't say the exact model) however the vista experience score is 2.7?!

The specs are:

T8100 2.1ghz
8800mgtx
2gb DDR2 memory
160gb 7200rpm HD
Vista 32bit

I notice that the drivers on the system of 167.45 or something like that. I also note that the nvidia website doesn't even list the 8800mgtx under the drivers.

So my question is what are you guys running? Also where can I get the drivers from hassle free?!

Finally when I attempted to run crysis it ran in windowed mode?! I have no idea why? Any suggestions?

Thanks all

Thanks for the information however I have read that some drivers don't let the card clock up when in 3dmode.

I have just ran 3dmark06 and the score was a pathetic 3.4k which is lower than people are getting with a 8600mgt let alone a 8800mgtx.

I am stumped now.

Rivantuner is showing the clocks in 3dmode as 540/1350/800 which is up from what they should be stock yet the score is far too low.



EDIT: This is with the standard 167.43 drivers? Judging from what others have posted around the net I should be hitting 8k or so?!

EDIT 2: False alarm, turns out the display drivers hadn't been installed properly, a quick reinstall sorted that out. Now scoring 8.5k which seems in line with what others are scoring. (my slower cpu is holding me back a bit)

Daft question and I would probably find out with a bit of reasearch but its probably easier to ask:

Can I just download and install the drivers from the site (obviously uninstalling and running driver cleaner on the ones I have currently) or do I have to download the drivers and then download the modded inf file?!

Thanks
