    What driver are you guys using? The latest one on Dell's website wouldn't work for me.

    Win 8 should have installed one Certified by MS.. no ?

    You can try the GeForce 310.70 WQHL Drivers for Win 8 64bit directly from nVidia. (Release Date: Mon Dec 17, 2012)

    Cool, you should be good to go. You can always experiment with the latest ones from nVidia. It you notice problems, simply uninstall the software then go to the device manager and remove the display adapter from your system. Be sure to also check off "delete driver" too. Reboot and Win 8 will find it again and put it's driver back in for it.

    You can also try a modded INF for Windows 8 with one of the latest nvidia ones.
