    Hi there,

    I just got my XPS 1340 with 9400+210 and win7x64 last week and its running the forceware 186.33 but I want to update the video driver that supports hybrid-sli.

    So then, my question, what is the latest video driver that supports the hybrid-sli for the xps 1340?, I've searched and found nothing useful, im sure your all aware the search function is hit and miss, try "xps" and you'l know lol :).

    Dear japalax,

    you can go to Drivers - GeForce , click button 'AUTO-DETECT YOU GPU' ... but I recommend you to download from Dell website on driver download. I'm currently using Nvidia Geforce 9500 (GF 9400MG + GF 9200MGS) version 8.15.11.8659, inside my XPS 1340 windows 7. After installation, hybrid sli only work with extra battery+AC power. else if your hybrid sli doesn't work to boost performance, then you have to install BatteryCare 0.9.8.11 , just that windows 7 built-in battery management driver+software usually can't join with hybrid-sli function.

    japalax....

    Graphics Driver - Verde 285.62 Driver - GeForce <--- here you go, i search it for you. it's verde 285.62 (win7x64)and i'm not sure it supports hybrid-sli... but u can try this latest and up-to-dated. i can't remember mine was also 285.62 because I've tested each version from 179 - 285.62

    if you want to use manual search, please you choose 9M series and you can choose any verson you want ... each version has different functions.
