    Sorry if this has been asked... or is a silly question. But I'm finding it a little difficult to work out which nvidia driver is best to use for my R1 M11x? Can anybody give some advice? And if possible a link to the downloads? I know there is a beta driver 197.12 on the dell site (I have installed right now). But I also see threads about 259.47... :confused:

    Thanks for any help :D

    The 197.72 is probably the best official driver for now. It is, at least, newer than the 197.12.

    Thanks for such a quick response! How goes things with unofficial drivers? Anything worth looking in to?
