Win7 video card drivers for Toshiba Qosmio X300

whitehawk625 · 10-27-2009, 05:06 PM

I have a Qosmio x300 15T notebook, purchased in June 2009. The video card is NVIDIA 9800M GT. I have recently changed my OS from Vista Home Premium to Win7 Pro full version. I did a clean install and everything seems to work fine except for this video card driver. The windows experience rating system gives only a score of 1 for video performance and graphics. I have tried unsuccessfully on Toshiba, Microsoft and the NVIDIA sites to find my driver update. The NVIDIA site states that Toshiba use their own driver version. Can anyone please tell me if there is somewhere to get the right driver? I had the same problem with Toshiba when I wanted to downgrade from Vista to XP on my old Toshiba but surely they must offer a driver for an upgrade, especially as they offer a Vista to Win7 OS upgrade? Any help would be much appreciated.

Have you tried the vista driver from the Toshiba site? It'll probably work.
I'm surprised that win7 does not install it automatically.

Yes exactly use the vista driver, should work for windows 7.

Go here for video driver:

Download:
nVidia Windows Vista 32 Bit 7.15.11.7689
Do not use the Beta version.

Thank you both so much for the advice. I used the link, downloaded the Vista driver and all is now up and running.
I had assumed that as Win 7 hadn't picked this driver up it wasn't suitable.

ONCE AGAIN- MANY THANKS!!
