    OK, after I installed the verde drivers, the performance of the intel integrated GPU has dropped. Reinstalling the old Nvidia drivers didn't work. Is there a setting I'm missing. Is it the PhysX settings? Any ideas?

    I wouldn't worry that much with Intel GPU performance as I don't expect it to be a high performance GPU. I would be more concerned on the Nvidia GPU losing performance after the driver update.

    To answer your question you can also check the power options for the intel driver see if is set to Max performance plugged in.

    For anyone else having this problem, I reinstalled the driver from the Dell Downloads and Drivers page (an older driver) and gained back the performance I had lost.
