    Don't use the Dell drivers, they're terrible. Use the LaptopVideo2Go site to find more recent and better performing ones. I recommend the 169.04 or 169.09 drivers

    I tried installing one of those drivers but i got a message saying they weren't compatable with my system. Apparently the 8600M GT is a laptop model and i have a laptop which i bought especially to play the game on.
