    Chris,

    We never did get an answer in the old forum about if/when Dell is going to give us a faster BIOS for the XPS 730.  BIOS 1.05 is terribly slow, as I am sure you know.  What news?

    I can answer that question in 4 simple words - don't count on it.  Now that DELL has discontinued the 730 and 730x entirely, they won't be bothered to release a BIOS update for it.

    That's rather odd considering I'm running Windows 7 Professional x64 and I've not had a single issue with using Vista drivers.

    XPS 730x, SLI GTX 280, Driver 1.91, Windows 7 Ultimate, Left 4 Dead

    When SLI is enabled, Left 4 Dead has serious banding in the sky? When SLI is disabled, the sky looks normal. I have tried all of these settings and it does not fix the issue?

    The 191 driver release is buggy.  Roll back to the 190 release and it may solve your issues.
