Hi folks,

 

Got an XPS 420 with 8800GT. Haven't upgraded my graphics card's drivers in who-knows-how-long - should I update using nVidia's update, or Dell's (few versions old) update?

 

Cheers

  Use the nvidia driver update.

FYI I updated the catalyst control center for my 2600 xt ati card and now i can't get catalyst graphics control center to open and don't have access to any other graphic options except for the basic.  I uninstalled all graphics drivers and tried again and still the same.  Unless it's vital i wouldn't update...but that me and ati...

well thats for ati, not nvidia. not sure what the problem is

 

ive updated my xps420 gfx drivers several times with no problems

Just did the nVidia update in the end, all went fine. Seems easier than I remember from years ago, no having to remove every trace of the old drivers anymore. Thanks folks!

anyone have troubles with catalyst drivers?
