For those of you that just got your E1705 and 7900GS, can you please go to the Dell Website, enter you service tag and see what driver dell recommends for the card? I plan on putting a 7900GS in my computer very soon, but when I go to the Dell website and look and downloads for video drivers for the E1705, I only see a driver for the Nvidia 7800....is this a good starting point for the 7900GS?

I entered my service tag but I get a generic video driver screen...and none of them say 7900 GS.

Excuse my ignorance, but I can't find anything on tweaksrus.com that specifically states Mobile Force Drivers. Is the following what we should be downloading? When you do a search for Mobile Force, you get a bunch of stuff....they have Vista Drivers, 64Bit Drivers, 32Bit drivers.......spoon feed time......hehehe

One listed is the nVidia Forceware 91.28 Released...is this what we want?

Check it out... would we need to reflash our video BIOS before installing these new drivers, or can we just follow the guide on tweaksrus that says to use drivercleaner, and then just install the mobileForce drivers?

I really hope I don't have to flash the BIOS, what a pain in the ass. Every guide says to use a 1.4" floppy... don't know the last time I saw one of those things even!

So far the stock drivers have yielded the best 3DMark05 scores (6470); at least for me.

Various Tweaksrus drivers dropped my score by ~100 everytime.

Follow the tweaksrus guide to reinstall new drivers. You only have to bios flash the card if you want to overclock it.

Ok, I cleaned the driver and reinstalled the mobileForce drivers.. now, I have set the overclock settings, but everytime I restart my computer, the settings revert to stock. Is this normal?
