The usual nVidia driver downloadable from nVidia website won't recognize your videocard and will not install at all.

Hey!

I have a VGN-FS315S and I installed an updated driver package from nVidia with a modified .inf file.
Windows did recognize the graphic card and the installation went smooth. But I got less perfomance in games, even though my graphic card is listed on the compability list.

I might have overlooked some important configuration, but I wouldn´t know 😞

By the way, I apply to say something more:
In non-widescreen resolutions (using Sony´s original drivers), fullscreen aplications aren´t stretched, while in the driver package I installed from nVidia, fullscreen is stretched. Can anyone help me with this?

Later!!
