    Alright so Here is the thing I downloaded diablo 3 (didnt play yet as servers are down but played the beta...) I decided to go and update my driver on my graphic card with the latest version 296.10 and my computer would not recognize the graphic card anymore... now Im back to version 188...

    What version should I download? I also download MSI afterburner to improve GPU (good idea or bad idea?????)


    Thanks

    If a M11x R1 you need to use drivers from dell website.

    If R2 roll back to previous version.

    R3 works with the latest nvidia driver, re-install.

    Regards.
