    Hi, all the NV drivers post 314.22 have been causing a multitude of issues. It seems that people simply have to find one that works for them (and not expect any newer driver to perform better!).

    Dell released 327.45 recently so that one is worth a try: Driver Details | Dell UK so supported by dell if you need to call them :)

    Good luck ;)

    It said so but worked just fine when clicked through. The wording of the 'warning' is just ridiculous.

    Don't worry about the WEI score that you talk of, it's not important really, and it can be a bit buggy sometimes. If I was you I'd compare benchmark & game performance between drivers if you want to know which driver works best - generally the latest version. But, what MickyD is saying about issues with some of the later drivers is true for some models of cards (although don't think 770M is affected by that). But, if you do update your driver to the latest NVidia driver from their website, then it would be sensible to check your temperatures & voltages using something like GPUz, to make sure that the newer drivers aren't applying greater voltages to the card than your previous Dell drivers.

    The game will run with previous drivers also. It may perform better with those ones though.
