    I see a few answer what resultat you can get vith this driver on XPS M 1330.
    Did the laptop runs cooler? what temp?
    Fans on allways?
    Batterylife?
    I se one have problems whatching video with this driver.

    With A11 BIOS and the new driver, what is the resultat for temp?
    HW Monitor or other program? before and after?

    I didn't try 175.97 yet but with 174.31 and A11 the fan is constantly on, which is what A11 does..

    Does anyone else have choppy video playback problems with this driver version. I am using the older drivers from Dell and the videos play fine, but with these drivers the playback is not smooth. I have tried WMP, Gom and VLC.
    Any suggestions ?

    These drivers lie about the temperature.

    do these have powermizer 7 or 8?

    how can you tell?

    just read the tech brief on powermizer 8, seems amazing...nothing difinitive in there to say if it's compatible with ONLY 9M or 8M as well.

    (I reallllllllly need to know this, i'll be happy to REP whoever can give me a solid answer to which version of powermizer is included here)

    THANK YOU!!

    I was using 175.75 version with A11 Bios. The GPU temperature is higher than the 165.55 version. I went back to 165.55 version.

    can someone please check to see if they have powermizer 7 or 8 installed after this update? This is of huge interest to me.

    Thx
