Which driver should I use with a 9600 GT Mobile?

  • 772

I checked the Additional Drivers offered for my card and I saw four options:

  • NVIDIA accelerated graphics drivers (version 173)
  • NVIDIA accelerated graphics drivers (post-release updates) (version 173-updates)
  • NVIDIA accelerated graphics drivers (version current) (Recommended)
  • NVIDIA accelerated graphics drivers (post-release updates)(version current-updates)

I'm not sure which one to pick. I want a driver that's stable but also takes advantage of my card's hardware.

  1. Use the recommended one is my advice. I'd say use the open source one but that wouldn't get all of your card's power.

    I'm running on a Quadro 320m which is 8600GT based and the proprietary driver gave me excessive static which is still persistent after switching to the open source driver. Just a word of warning.
