    I was just on the Nvidia website and I couldn't find anything as far as drivers for my graphic card. Anyone else have this notebook? If so I'd appreciate some input about where you update your graphic card drivers.

    Thanks :)

    support.dell.com has all of the drivers for your laptop. You could also get your video card driver from laptopvideo2go.com, but there might be some problems with it. There have been several threads about using other drivers than the ones on Dell, and the user looses some features. With the nVidia driver, if you get it from somewhere else, the LCD will not turn off when you close the lid. If you get the driver from Dell, it will.
