    06 score looks valid for your card. Cant say much for vantage. The card is newer than both of those applications. 06 isnt getting updated.

    SO last I checked you did benchmark your card so whats the problem? 3DMark 11 is probably the valid benchmark tool for a 400 series as far as that thing goes. The older software that tests for older features is seeing what it can see, the website wont put what it see's as a possibly troubled result on the leaderboard.

    Nvidia says download drivers from Dell itself.

    Yea, My HP was the same way. I ended up using a DOX modified driver prior to its death later on. Unfortunately i don't think any of his drivers are meant for such a new card he hasn't put out any new releases.

    The Nvidia drivers may refuse to install but you could try. Vista/7 64 bit for the 435M - NVIDIA DRIVERS 260.99 WHQL

    Makes a note for a couple of XPS models on installing some sort of update first. EDIT - Looks like a bios update for those models
