    Just wanted to ask a quick question, which driver performs the best on the M11X? I got the R1, but I might do a work around to get the Intel chipset and nVidia GPU working like hybrid. I don't have the time to try out every one. Thanks ;)

    Theres another thread, it shows how to use the newest nVidia drivers with hybrid. The OC I did along time ago was for the A04 BIOS. I had 5 cooling pads on the M11X everywhere and the fan opening in the inside sort of lost its colour. Trust me, don't do. I saw major artifacts when I played Crysis for a test run (Crysis 1). Got an extra 5 FPS+, not worth it. Now, to cover it up so Dell won't suspect a thing :tongue:.
