    You have to go to that site linked above by Burkle. And chose the one you want.

    If you don't know which is the best, take a look here, to know the most commonly used -

    http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=278394

    There is no such thing as "BEST NVidia Driver for M1530"/ Some work for you, while they don't for others and vice versa. You have to figure out your card and the latest driver for that card and see how it performs.

    For starters its better to go with Dell drivers - either 174.31 or 175.97. Both are good enough and performing pretty well. There are some suggestions for 177.xx version' and some 175.xx versions. Please take a quick look in the thread I linked you to and you should be able to get an idea. Good luck.

    And do check out laptopvideo2go if you really want to know whats 'best'. People report there after using the drivers and report various issues / problem solutions. So that would be very helpful in chosing what you want. Cheers.

    When I play WoW, I use 174.74, it fixes the stuttering. Yet when I play FFXI with forced AA/AF it makes me lag like crazy, in which I revert to oddly, Dells default drivers which I found to eliminate this lag, but will lag me on spell effects in WoW.

    Drivers are really funny (not funny to you when you struggle with them) kind of things, you just gotta play around, see what people review as good, and try them for yourself.
