The Ati Mobility Modder has been an enthusiast favourite for years now, with over 10 million downloads it seems there are a lot of laptop users who don’t want to wait on their manufacturer updating driver sets. Let’s be honest, most of the major laptop makers are normally lagging many months behind the latest official driver sets from either nVidia or ATI.
nVidia Mobility Modder Tool is an automated tool for nVidia enthusiasts who like to game on the go. Newer drivers have bug fixes, performance enhancements as well as possibly making a hot new game playable on various platforms.
How to use DriverHeaven Nvidia Mobility Modder.
1. Download the newest desktop drivers from NVIDIA’s WEBSITE or get them from Driver Heaven Downloads.
1a: If you are using Windows XP or earlier, install .Net Framework (the program won’t run without this), the latest version can be found at this link.
2. Run the downloaded driver and let it extract or if the driver is in zip format then extract it manually into a folder, for example into C:/NVIDIA/”Windows version”/”Driver version” – but cancel the installation once the driver is extracted.
3. Run Mobility Modder.NET nVidia Edition and browse to the driver in C:/NVIDIA/”Windows version”/”Driver version” – an example of nVidia GeForce 177.79 would be C:/NVIDIA/WinVista/177.79 – hit modify. Wait until driver is modified.
4. In Vista/Win7, go to C:/NVIDIA/WinVista/177.79 (Or whatever the driver installation folder was called), and run the SETUP.EXE.

nVidia’s modern graphic cards offer a whole range of settings to optimize the display of games and also of professional applications. Some settings can also be used to improve the performance and to resolve rendering errors.
nHancer is the tool that empowers both experts and inexperienced users to fully utilize the possibilities of the graphic card.
Extensive explanations for all the various settings are directly shown in nHancer, enabling newcomers to immediately understand the effects of those settings. Experts, on the other hand, can use the advanced options to adjust every detail to their preferences.
One of the most prominent features of nVidia graphic cards is the support for automatic profiles. By using those profiles it’s possible to optimize the rendering for every game or application without the need to manually adjust all the settings each time before starting it. nHancer greatly improves the management of those profiles, so anybody can use them very easily.
Note: This version requires a GeForce driver 182 or later.
