    I notice that the dell seems to download a 5000 driver but i guess it might be generic.

    There seems to be a newer driver i can get from intel but not by too much.

    Should I use the Intel one or the dell one ? I am just trying to get the best possible
    performance for world of warcraft.

    Is it normal that my haswell xps 12 would still get hot and almost go to 10-15 FPS during raids and maybe 30 fps during bgs ?

    I think it was faster before but not sure but any tips wuld be great.

    Thanks

    Either should be fine, but I'd install the newest one direct from intel
