    I recommend using the stock drivers from support.dell.com . Some users have tried using a driver hosted on other sites, but there have been some problems. For one, your LCD will not turn off when you close the lid if you use a driver from another site. Some users like this feature so they have no choice but to use the driver from dell.

    In my case I've seen a lot of benchmarks from people using 1705/9400.
    When I got mine I did some tests (mostly 3D Mark) and the 3D performance was ~30% below what I've seen reporten on the web.
    Went to Dell website, installed latest drivers. Got same results, no improvement.
    Then I tried using Nvidia drivers from nvidia.com.
    Got the 30% back and I had no problems ever since.
