I could be wrong. But Alienware seems to be on the last train when it comes to upgrading their drivers towards the latest preferred Windows OS. 8.1 has been out for a while now, they should at least update their drivers to the latest version. Or I could be just ignorant, not knowing where to look for them. Most drivers from Dell.com are age old.

factory image as in all your drives, hdd configuration and recovery partition is configured all together without you doing anything

guys..anyone playing call of duty ghost?, when launch the error with intel hd graphic 4600. any help?

I'm having trouble with HD Graphic 4600 also. Probably the old driver doesn't work well with Windows 8.1 PRO. Are you on that OS as well?

yup..on win8.1..i have google and found a solution it work. u try google and it say something bout copy and paste a PLAYER2 on the cod folder. youtube also have.

good luck

Any one has upgraded to newest nvdia driver?

I upgraded it and upon several hours of gaming i notice huge performance drop. Verify with temp and it seem okay only. It dropped and raise and drop back on off.

I installed Dell official driver just now and plan to test it again tonight.


Btw, I am using cudaHashcat which require a lot of raw gpu computing power and notice Dell driver perform 50% better than nvidia driver.....

Looks like only Dell official is optimize for AW, gona test it for gaming tonite and report back.

Do anyone deal with putochip123 before?

U looking for r4 or r5

yeah i did. 's up?

Never had a successful deal with him.. in my opinion his prices are high. Off course it is cheaper than Dell online but if you fish into forums and get lucky.. you can find a better deal.

His price is cheap... Trustable?
When you deal with him?
Why some spec is different?

Will Alienware got AP set?
May I know why you say so?
Any other recommend dealer and trustable?

Are you selling?
Best price any spec please....
What nationality set?

whats the standard rate to extend 1 year warranty

you're talking about price. if you are comparing price only, yeah there are a lot of season sellers that can offer much lower price (but that normally means it's an one-off deal, you will never see them again; and most of the times, they wanna let it go fast)

imo @putochip123 is one of few sellers that has good reputation here. to me, he's trustworthy (delivered according to what he promised, without useless excuses every time). i have dealt with him recently. i will deal with him again.

check out his facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/DellAlienwar...216581081751731

he just declared that the units are Malaysia sets. (you can always verify that with dell)

aw can be customized. it's not surprising if he sells a unit that has different specs than stock.
