    Hi I have a new 1705 with the card. Date of drive is may. So I tried to install drivers dated august and then the "performance drivers" on dells site. I run the installer but have to abort because 'the drivers are not for my card" or something like that.

    WHy? so then what is the latest greatest driver ? I dont want to OC because I have a 4 year warranty I dont want to ruin.

    Please help I wanna play oblivion but its slow.

    :(
