    Would you keep on using the video drivers from DELL or latest from NVIDIA?

    If what you have is working fine and you're not experiencing any performance issues I'd leave it as is. "If it ain't broke don't fix it 'til it is"

    I agree, but you can create an image backup of your system and try the new drivers, in case they don't work just roll back to the working image.

    Good point! That's exactly what I'm doing now with the 310.90 drivers. So far they seem to be working well.

    stick with the one on dell website. i had the 310.90 installed and my 2 main games, dota2 and diablo 3, had some stuttering issues and noticeable lower fps compared to the 307 driver on dell website.
