you ever hear of dev drivers? or how about laptop video2go? i love guys like you. scan it like i did, as i do with anything that comes across my desk.. this set was scanned by avast, microsoft security essentials and avg by me after i downloaded it for those interested...

i didn't install anything but the graphics driver. i don't have 3d vision so i never install it and unless you are using an nv board the hd audio driver is useless. i use xfi and not on-board so i don't need those as well. and nview is useless unless you are running quadro.

as with any beta driver results may very and some might run into problems using them. but that's why they are beta.. I've had good results with this set in several games including 3dm11 and heaven 2.5.
these are for the 5 series and is the reason for the modded .inf so others can try them as well. that's the only part not from nvidia.

yea,if i feel they are a good set i will spread the word. i'm one of the founding menbers and beta tester for them from way back when it was Tweaksrus and JR was around. great bunch of gamers over there..

they looked good in game and ran great for me. make sure you just use the driver or you might run into problems. i forgot and installed it all and had to remove the other stuff aftter.. xfi is not to fond of the hd audio drivers. :) and the rest is quadro crap..

crisper and sharper textures, that sort of stuff. i noticed it with all the games i've checked out with them. the desktop looked better as well, much sharper.. benchmarks were no higher but they weren't lower either.

some have reported that the .inf mod didn't work for them but the one that ltvtg created does. one of the guys at TF created the one i posted up. he must have missed adding some of the gpus to the list in the .inf..

Are these drivers restricted to a specific card? I have a GTX285 in a Win7 64-bit and it says it's not compatible.
Yeah have to download the tiny .inf file that is in his post and, after extracting the drivers (before installing them), drop the inf file into the folder where it is located. Make sure to copy AND replace it, THEN run set up and install.
