Aurora R9, updating RTX 2080 Super driver
I just want to confirm this on the Nvidia driver updates. Do we update through DELL and not Nvidia.
Thx !

The Dell-OEM Nvidia desktop video cards are fairly standard "reference design" cards.
Yes, they can run Nvidia drivers from Nvidia.com (and also any tossed to you via Windows Update).

Note that Dell also just rolled out a firmware update for the OEM RTX graphics cards that came out in April. Assuming you were so inclined, you would do the firmware update through Dell for their oem gpu.

Interesting.
VIDEO-BIOS Firmware updates are very different (and rare occurrence) from the usual driver-updates .
I agree and also suggest getting any VIDEO-BIOS Firmware updates directly from the manufacturer of the video-card. That's like Zotac, MSI, or in this case ... Dell (for their OEM cards).

Yes I seen that and that’s why I want to confirm. My R9 is running like a champ and I don’t want to be like others I have read about these update issues. I know it’s not good to read some of that bad stuff but I can’t help it. I’ve only had this R9 for 2 months and so far it’s been great.
