    I have the studdering problem on my card, is there a dell specific fix for this?

    I tried the 163.76 drivers and new bios, still has issues with fps on counter-strike source, a game this card should run 100% smooth.

    I am getting a replacement shipped to me next week due to a faulty memory card slot on the motherboard, is this video card issues widely rampant? Should I just return the machine and get lenovo rather than risk the new laptop having the same issue?

    "Seek and ye shall find".

    In the 'Gaming (Software and Graphics Cards)' forum, there is an excellent option to try that has worked for me submitted by 'lowlymarine'.

    Open the nVidia control panel, go to "Advanced 3D Settings," and set "Threaded Optimization" to "Off."

    I updated the BIOS in mine, Installed a Dx10 redistributable and ran the 169.13 gearing (I think)

    I wish I did them one at a time so I could figure out what fixed it.



    Edit: I mean 169.13 driver ... 169.13 gearing is pretty damn low ... not sure where that came from
