Getting the most performance out of my Alienware 18

hi guys,

Just curious, is there anything out there should it be , drivers,software, modded vbios, bios, anything that we should be using if we have a Alienware 18. Mine if from the year when the i7 4930mx was the top chip you could buy. Then the 4940 came out and then they discontinued it.

I'm running Windows 10 and it seems I never have any driver updates needed when I go to the dell website. Should I be looking elsewhere? Is Windows 10 good when it comes to finding and updating our drivers. Other then my nvidia driver I haven't gotten any other new drivers.

My system is getting old now and just wondering if anyone has any ideas or thoughts on som e possible upgrades. I run my 4930mx @ 4.1ghz 24/7 ( I'm happy with that)my 780m's in sli are using a modded vbios and honestly I overclock for benching but overall I haven't really come across games that have been able to cripple the two 780m's running at stock with sl7's vbios.

I have three hard drives two Samsung 840 512gb in raid 0 and one 1TB data drive.

Am I missing anything ? My ram is stock 32gb that came with it.

I thought about trying to go with two of the gtx 980's in SLI but would it even be worth it yet going from two 780m's? Yes the 980's are powerful and badass, and we waited forever for someone to even have it so we could use them in our Alienware 18's but just seems Like right now I maybe better off waiting to see what's next as far as gpu's coming out.

Anyway I'm just getting bored with my machine so figured even a small new upgrade may make me happy again. Any ideas would be appreciated.


Also , are all the driver finding software programs all just total garbage or do some of them actually work and no rust spam machines?
