Latest Nvidia drivers on Aspire 8920

I finally got the latest Nvidia drivers (178.13) from nVision, to work correctly on my 8920.

Everything is functional, Blu-ray works fine, acer power management includes the graphics power mode, PhysX is enabled (download the latest PhysX driver from the same site) overclocking of the shader clock works with Nvidia performance tool installed. It is the fastest driver yet, my 9650M GS scored 5213 on 3d Mark 06, previous best was 5000. I'm on Vista 64 bit so I installed the 64 bit driver.

This is what I did:

downloaded the driver, ran it to unzip it to a folder, downloaded the modded .inf to the same directory & overwrote the original file. Opened up the .inf file in notepad & added the subsys information for your card the 9650M GS is as follows

change

%NVIDIA_G84.DEV_0408.1% = nv_NV3x_Mobile, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0408

to

%NVIDIA_G84.DEV_0408.1% = nv_NV3x_Mobile, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0408&SUBSYS_01451025


I then downloaded the nVidia Mobility Modder Tool from http://www.driverheaven.net/nvmodtool.php & ran it. I then installed the driver, a warning came up about unsigned driver on Vista 64 bit, but I just continued at the prompt.

I tried a Blu-ray disk & when Acer Arcade opened it automatically installed an update in about 5 seconds & played the Blu-ray perfectly.
