Just did a mod for the 306.89 on win8

Now these. He he.

Could anyone please show me how to mod the .inf correctly?

I know where to paste my hardware-ID's (in 2 sections) but in some softwares my 680M will then not appear as a 680m but as the Hardware-ID...

Click to show spoiler

What I do to make it compatible for the hardware-check is just add the second string to both sections, not more. What am I missing?

And BTW for those interested, here is the x64 Win7/8 Mobility link (on which I still need to do my .inf mod): http://www.geforce.co.uk/drivers/results/50016

Nice find Thanks!

Not many fixes, was hoping for some Borderlands 2 performance fixes. Odd that they still dont include the newer physx drivers.

SlackerITGuy · 10-10-2012, 15:15 | posts: 116

Can't find them over at NVIDIA.com.

EDIT: Found them at geforce.com lol, nothing to see here folks

What issues do you have? I'm also playing Borderlands 2 and have none except somewhat low FPS when PhysX is on High and there is a lot of blasting going around.

Nice to have official drivers for my cards and certified ones at that but I've only just installed the 306.89 ones the day before last. These don't look terribly exciting in terms of fixes and improvements but I always install the latest drivers out so I'll be installing these as soon as I get home in an hour.

I also noticed with the 306.63 and 306.89 drivers that those Chinese symbols that show when you export the profiles as a text file have now been replaced by English. I believe these are part of the 3D profiles.
