    I wanna ask whether I can install the newest nvidia drivers 71.84 onto my 9300. Will it support my 6800 Go?

    I tried them with the laptop2go inf file and they did work, although I am currently using the Extreme G drivers v76.41 with my card and I get better results.

    I OC'd to 350/712 and got 4049 on 3DMark05 and 54,792 on Aquamark3. Temperature didn't go up past 62 during the tests, all stock cooling system, nothing modified. I tried UT2004 at high res and settings, shows me great framerates with "stat fps" but I do get some slight noticeable chopping...must be my lack of ram or slow hdd...
