    Hello All

    I noted that on the dell website the drivers for the alienware m11x r3 were last dated 2012.

    Is it possible to download the updated drivers from nvidia? I understand that the laptop has both integrated graphics and also nvidia graphics. Can someone please advise:-

    1) Can you use the updated drivers?
    2) Do you loose the integrated graphics?
    3) is laptopvide2go any good for updated drivers?

    Thankyou for your time.

    That's a good place to get them taking into consideration that you may need to modify the INF file for it to install properly.

    If you mean installing the 540m drivers, there should be no need to modify any files at all. The drivers currently available from nVidia's site work just fine on the R3.
