    I bought gears of war for PC, it plays but it looks really crappy. I was told to update drivers for my video card but there are no updates for the NVS 140m. Is there any way to use forceware drivers or some other custom drivers that would improve graphics?

    well, i would check laptopvideo2go.com for drivers.... but thats about all i can help you with.... although i hear that Gears is a very CPU intensive game also (just so you know) so that may be causing the problem

    I don't think GOW can run that well on a NVS 140M...but like aan310 said, go to laptopvideo2go.com, download their latest driver for whatever windows you use, extract the file, download the modded inf file and replace the one in the extracted folder, then install it. I doubt that'll help much tho.

    I looked through a few drivers at laptopvideo2go but none of them support the 140m, anybody know of any particular driver releases from there that support the 140m?

    They won't support it, that is why you need the modded inf file. Put it in simple words, it basically will make the driver support 140m.

    Yep, right next to driver download there should be "Modded Inf." or something like that...I would check but they're currently down right now.

    164.33 seems like good drivers been using them for a while.. any of most downloaded drivers should work well with the 140M. I play Hellgate london, mythos, Doom 3. Make sure you have everything set so your cup and everything is running max performance.
