    Correct, there are so many drivers considered to be the latest... Dell approved, Nvidia approved, Community built. Also, what are the game settings? Turn off anti-aliasing and lower your resolution and see if those help.

    No you see none of my steam games want to run at all, they were working just fine before but now all I get is the audio no video from any of my games except Condition Zero. Any game running at a resolution above 800x600 won't display the video
