    Hey m11xR2 users these have just been released. The notes state that it now supports the GPU in the r2.

    NVIDIA DRIVERS 258.69 BETA

    Granted these are beta still worth a try

    It supports the GPU, just not the laptop.

    The 257.30 drivers I downloaded from Dell's support site yesterday installed without a hitch... I would imagine these two are pretty closely related.
