    I downloaded and installed the last nvidia drivers and they reduced my windows experience index from 4.7 to 4.6

    I know that test seems to be flawed but it makes me wonder if those new drivers actually reduced my video card perfomance.

    I have an inspiron 1520 model

    If the only way you can tell is by benchmarks and not by observing the system while using it, then does it truly matter?

    Don't get me wrong, I'm all for performance .. but are you going to really notice a 2% drop in "experience index"?
