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!
