    Hey there, i have an R1 Machine, recently some of my games have turned thier settings down and are saying to get the update drivers for my card, i downloaded the ones from the Nvideia site and when i reboot after installation my screens goes to a very low resolution, even in the display tab the resolutions dont go anywhere near the 1366x768, and in the device manager it says i then have issues with the intel onboard card. i read somewhere you can install the nividea drivers and then switch it to discrete in the Bios, but this doesnt change what is happening.

    was wondering how i can update the drivers for my card or anyway to resolve whats happening

    Drivers & Downloads

    Try downloading the official DELL drivers. Nvidia drivers don't include card switching functionality.

    I recommend the 197.12 version as the latest drivers are plagued with problems - from my experience.
