    Hi Brothers I have been out of the game for while and need a link to some modded drivers for my 980m on my ALienware 17 was previously a 880m my drivers are 355 so bit out of date , I used to mod myself but cant remember now how I did lol , and also is it better to go optimus mode or dedicated as I found dedicated seemed better but was concerned it would shorten the life of the card , anyway any info or help would be appreciated ..Cheers

    dedicated mode is best, and the driver should work in windows 8 as well, its a win 64bit driver.
