    I received my XPS M1330 in Feb and just looked and noticed there are a few updates drivers for the video card etc.. Question is if I'm not having any issues is there any reason to update them? Can an updated video driver provide any better video performance / quality? Do you always update to the latest drivers?

    They sometimes provide better performance...or they fix some issue with something or what not.

    I suggest all of them except the DVD one (just did it the other day) Everything seems fine and dandy.

    cosrocket , yes most new drivers do provide better performance and big fixes , but before blindly upgrading stuffs ,

    check out the reviews about the drivers and see what kind issue users are facing and so on

    this will help you make a list drivers to skip and another list to install . You can also see the changelogs which comes with drivers to see what issues they have fixed or added any features to it
