Best driver for solidwork 2009

Hi I just received my M4400 and I was wondering if there is a better driver than the default one for solidwork 2009 also when I go on nvidia control panel I have only 4 item in the tree on the left where usually there is a lot of option like resolution and clone or dual display. I have 176.07 installed right now

 

Just get the latest available from NV. I don't think anyone is making custom drivers for Quadro...

 

I finally went with the one from dell which were more recent than mine. How can I verify that solidwork 2009 graphic are GPU accelerated ??

 

Go into the solidwork's setting's before opening any part's and check the software openGL box,then try some work,this disable's graphic's hardware acceleration and uses the cpu to emulate what the GPU does normally,it is very handy for fault tracing glitches and problem's that are in fact graphic card or driver related.
You should notice,not only a massive reduction in performance,but in visual's also running in software openGL mode.

Disclaimer....I havent used version 2009 or 2008 for that matter,but from 2007 back to 2000,it had this "use software openGL" feature

 

Thanks I'll try that tomorrow. I can remember a slider for hardware acceleration in XP does it still exist for openGL ?
