Which as you can tell by the date is really, really outdated. While the driver(after searching Nvidia's website - shows that it is a laptop only driver) is The one Alienware remotely installed on my system last wee:ĭriver Name: nvd3dumx.dll,nvwgf2umx.dll,nvwgf2umx.dll,nvd3dum,nvwgf2um,nvwgf2umĭriver Date/Size: 17:16:00, 9492480 bytes

My main issue with the driver is the one provided by Dell/Alienware is obnoixiously outdated compared to what is out on Nvidias website right now. Once again, thanks for the well thought out reply. (I wouldn't trust any beta driver downloaded from any other site.)

You might try their most recent beta if you're feeling up to it, but betas sometimes introduce more problems than they fix. Nvidia is always improving its drivers, so check their site regularly and make sure the most recent certified driver from their Web site is installed on your system. There are just too many differences among systems, both hardware and software, any of which could be the cause. If you aren't seeing any problems, don't worry about the ones that other people are seeing. play your favorite game at a familiar intense scene and "feel" how responsive it is. run the tests built into your favorite gamesģ. run one or more of the standard graphics throughput testsĢ. By "measure the performance" I mean do three things:ġ. I think the best way to find out if SLI actually is working is to measure the performance with both at an appropriately high screen resolution, and then to disable (or remove) one of the cards and measure the performance again. If you think your equipment is running too hot, then fan control is important because it lets you increase the airflow.

I'm also looking for a way to see if my SLI is working correctly - I have SLI/PhysX enabled in the Nvidia control panel, but reading support forums for some games(Civilization 5 and Final Fantasy XIV especially) I've heard that SLI isn't being run properly or at all(because of drivers or something) and is putting all the stress on one card. While Civ5 and FFXIV seem to be running quite a bit higher(noticeable heat for sure) then my other programs, so I wanted to see by how much. I've got 50 or so titles from all generes, publishes, etc installed and most seem to run the fans and stay around the same heat. What I meant by 'it's heating up more then usual' is they are heating up a lot more then all of my other games. I'm very aware of the increasing heat of components as more stress is placed on them - which is my main reason for requesting a manual monitoring tool(don't really care about fan controls or the like) - just needs to be able to work with the Nvidia 260M SLI cards I have. I wanted to make sure there wasn't a built in monitor included with Windows or Alienware software before I downloaded a third party aplication. I'm sorry if I didn't specify - I was looking for Tempeture monitoring mainly I've heard of speedfan and some ATI one and a few others on Google. Any help would be greatly appreciated, sorry again if this is in the incorrect section and thanks in advance! They also said there is an issue with Nvidia and something about the SLI not being included in the driver or something - something else I don't quite understand.

I had posted on the Civilization 5 tech support forums first but they told me to download all drivers(not sure how to do all that, Alienware support usually does it when I call) and that was it.

I've recently been playing Civilization 5 and it seems to be heating my computer up a bit more-so then usual and was looking for a better and more precise way of monitoring it.

Hi guys, I would first like to appologize if this is in the incorrect I originally tried posting in the dedicated Alienware section but was fed a lot of errors! Anyways - I'm wondering if their are any default programs included in Windows 7 64 bit / Alienware M17x included out of the box? I'm not entirely computer versed with all the different software on the market - but I consider myself a 'hardcore' gamer, and having just spent a little under 3,000 dollars on a new laptop I would like to monitor the heat and usage of the GPU and CPU specifically.
