    So I'm sure I'll get ripped because this is posted in the wrong area, but it involves a couple things in conjunction with my 1530, so I felt that gave it relevance. With that being said, is anyone running the new Folding@home GPU2 on their 1530. If so, how are the Nvidia CUDA drivers working for you. I only ask because after installing the 177.xx Nvidia drivers I noticed about a 100 point jump in my 3dmark06 scores. Also, my gaming graphics score for the WEI (which doesn't really mean much) went up (I say this because the last driver that Dell provided did the opposite for both).

    If you're not familiar with the GPU2 client for folding at home you can check it out here.

    If you just want to check out the Nvidia driver it's available here.
    Now I know it normally tells you that Dell requires you to download video drivers from them, but for some reason this one doesn't.
