i did as soon as i updated to that and it was a 100 point drop with a lot more heat so i said screw it and went back to the 78.30's and now up to the 81.87 drivers.... still have to OC it though and see if i can break 7000 3dmarks...

I am still running with the latest stock driver from DELL.
So people... tell me... will I notice FPS improvements in videogames?
Very nice and great and cool that you get higher scores in 3DMark and all... but I play games mostly on my machine and I hardly read any improvements except for the image quality.

I hope some people did some more testing except for 3Dmark in games with the 81.87 drivers.
If they give benefits over de the latest DELL stock drivers I'll give it a go as well.

YES! Since 80.xx came out, there was nothing but game performance boosts! 81.87 are really good for games!

Can someone point me in the right direction on how to completely uninstall previous version of driver, before install this version?

Search it's not working for me...
post #18 of 45
You just need to go to Add/Remove Programs and uninstall. You can also run a program called Driver Cleaner in safe mode to make sure all the files are removed if you want.
post #19 of 45
when you install these drivers do your fans run faster all the time?
post #20 of 45
Kewl!
Thanks for the quick replies gents!
I'll give it a go and report back with some real world performance analysis!
