NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT

Hi i have a Sony Vaio VGN-AR71S working just fine, very happy ehit it, had it for 2 moths now.However i have a driver problem whit my NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT .156.65 Is it Current driver But is dosent suport the game Age Of conan, so i needes to update. tunr out i cant when tryed to down load the latesd drivers from nvidia (GeForce Release 179 for Notebooks BETA). http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Scan.aspx?lang=en-us

here is the explenations

Sony requires that you download the driver for your GPU from their support site.

You can find more information at: http://www.sony.com.

The GeForce M series and GeForce Go series notebook GPUs use drivers that have been customized by the notebook manufacturers to support hot key functions, power management functions, lid close and suspend/resume behavior. NVIDIA has worked with some notebook manufacturers to provide notebook-specific driver updates, however, most notebook driver updates must come from the notebook manufacturer. Additionally, the desktop GeForce graphics drivers will not install on Geforce M series and Quadro M series notebook GPU's.


Now to my Problem Vaio Dosent have the latest Drivers... on ther home page, atleast i cant find it been scaning the the net for houers now getting tyerd. AND that sucks hard.So if some one know what to do i would really aprichiate it!

thank you for your time!

Peace&love bubbel

Hi bigbluebubbel,

you may try one of these!

Sometimes you have to replace the orginal inf-file with the modded one. So don't forget to load this file also. There's always a list of devices supported by the original inf.
