    This is version 268.30. Version 275.33 is avilable on the NVIDIA website and has some improvements for the latest games.

    I updated but had to revert because while playing BF:BC2 the textures would flickers, and in some maps there is a large hazy white light that blinds half the map....anyone got any ideas of what it might be

    Did you use driver sweeper in safe mode to completely remove the previous one?

    so i installed it and ran it in safe mode and just wiped all nvidia drivers, re-installed the new ones once i rebooted and same issue. Flickering texture(not the entire screen) and in certain levels a white haze, kinda like looking into the sun, just much much larger. Any ideas?

    Try turning Bloom off and force to DX9 in the settings.ini

    Bloom=false
    DxVersion=9

    Always use the latest driver from Nvidia, the Dell ones are always old and if you're feeling adventurous try a beta driver !!
