I personally have to give credit to nVidia for atleast updating their drivers in a fairly consistent manner...always a new beta out or something. As for overclocking, I do find that nTune is fairly reliable on my system (AMD x2, 7150m/630M)....kinda a quick and stable overclocking tool but then again I don't have any voltages unlocked or fan control to worry about.

Now some suggestions for my chipset...get rid of or fix the smart dimmer option...I can't get it to work no mater what I do.

Without going on too much of a rant ATI really needs to get their asses in gear and make the 4000 series already so nVidia will have to make an ultra-enthusiast card to stay on top. When that happens, the 8800 series won't cost a friggin' arm and leg to install and still not be able to play Crysis maxed out.

I just started using your drivers and they work very fine for me. However, my 9650m GS isn't recognized as that card, but as an 8600m GTS. I don't know if this is a problem, as it hasn't caused any problems yet. just asking if it could be fixed

Not sure if this is the right place to put this, but i would recommend having a look at the new 175.19 drivers, heres a list of changes:

# Improved 3D performance and load times for GeForce 8 and 9 series GPUs in some DirectX 9, DirectX 10 and OpenGL applications as a result an improved shader optimizer.

# Supports single GPU and NVIDIA SLI™ technology on DirectX 9, DirectX 10, and OpenGL, including 3-way and Quad SLI technology.

# Supports Hybrid SLI Technology to turbo-charge graphics performance and enjoy intelligent power management.

# Supports NVIDIA GeForce 3D Stereo Technology.

# Several game and application compatibility fixes. Please read the release notes for more information on product support, features, driver fixes and known compatibility issues.

Thanks for the suggestion, as you can see, I've got some brand new drivers up for Windows Vista and Windows 7 as well as for Windows XP. Take a look, and see what you think!
