Help with Nvidia driver requested!

[Jos Ballenbak]

Here is the problem I think is worthy of its own thread:

I Have a notebook with a Nvidia 9600m GS 512 MB video card inside.It runs decent and it lets me play all my strategy games. Recently I installed Fallout New Vegas, but I had to upgrade my driver to 260.99 (the latest, I believe). So after I did that, I noticed that Nvidia had a little note on the bottom of the page saying that this driver is not compatible with hybrid SLI intel chips.....

That is something I have. Now I cannot boost performance on my computer making it impossible to play New Vegas or other games, does anybody have a link to a driver that support the lates games for my Video card, and supports the Hybrid SLI I need to play the games decently.

Every comment is welcome.

I'd take a look at http://laptopvideo2go.com/, which is pretty much the go-to site for finding any laptop video driver out there. They modify drivers to allow them to run on any laptop, rather than just a particular model, and host nearly all the nVIDIA drivers that exist. They do have a forum specifically about Hybrid graphics, so they'll probably be able to direct you to which one you need if none of the standard ones are compatible.

Another option is nVIDIA's Advanced Search, which will include their driver archives. I don't know if they'll have the latest hybrid graphics drivers, but it's worth a shot.

Not having hybrid graphics I can't tell you exactly which model will work, but if such a driver exists, it'll probably be at one or both of those places.

Thank you, I will give it a try!

Check the laptop manufacturer's site. When a laptop has some funky hardware configuration (hybrid GPU's count) then often the laptop manufacturer has the best-qualified drivers available.
