    Just a heads-up to everyone since I haven't seen much posted here lately:

    New intel chipset drivers: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Se...Core™+Processors+with+Intel®+HD+Graphics+4600

    BIOS A6

    Nvidia 327.45 (on Dell website, also new 331 drivers from Nvidia themselves)

    Also there was an update to the OSD drivers last month.

    Hope this helps, post here if you know of any other driver updates

    Edit: the intel chipset might just be for windows 8.1, I didn't check other OS versions. Also, someone did already mention the BIOS update in the owner's lounge--I didn't notice that earlier

    nice post, i got the A6 yesterday, because I randomly decided to check lol. I am not sure about the chipset drivers though. According to the intel driver update wizard, it says I am up to date without it.

    I checked the Intel drivers because my rig wasn't recognizing HDMI for audio output on integrated mode after upgrading to windows 8.1. The update fixed this problem.

    Good to know. I haven't got around to using the HDMI out yet.
