Switching to 81.85 instantly solved the problem. have you tried it?
I had the lag problem too (more at the desktop then in gaming) until I ran 81.85-then it stopped. I using the extreme81.87 drivers-no lag with these either.

I just upgraded the Dell drivers.

Original 3dmark05 - 4976
78.51 Score - 5202

5% boost is pretty nice.

Both tests run at 1024x768 with all stock settings in 3dmark05 and in nvidia control panel. Image Quality set to "Quality". I'll try again in a sec, set to "performance".

Interesting note: I also run Symantec AV Corporate edition. With RTS enabled, my 3dmark dropped a grand total of 9 points.

EDIT:
Doom3 got a whopping .6 FPS with the 78.51 drivers. FEAR didn't change at all. It is possible that my first pass with 3dMark05 (Score 4976) was the result of extraneous services running (possibly Folding@Home). I reran 3dMark05 and got 5214, so that's pretty well accurate for my system.

In any case, not much of a performance boost from a gaming perspective.

I'm running them now, no mouse lag, no temperature change, and only 3points lower in 3dmark05. Works for me.

No. See previous posts. It's for Go6800, the Ultra, and the 7800.

Yeah, that's got to be Dells fault...
