which drivers are best for the alienware r3 laptop

[JJose11]

i have an alienware r3 laptop and i am in desperate need of an update, if anyone knows what driver is best for my device, please tell me, or leave a download linkm it would be appreciated

Why the desperate need? What OS are you running? What processor do you have? Do you have switchable graphics?

The "best" is to use what is supported and supplied by the manufacturer. Unless there is a really compelling issue, I would use what the manufacturer has provided.

Now, have you upgraded to Windows 10 and are having problems? Also, provide the full model number of your laptop.

Provide the answers to these questions and we can move on from there.

i haven't upgraded it in years and i am currently having lag issues with my computer, which i believe is being caused by out of date software, i'm running windows 10, i have an intel core i7 processor, i don't have switchable graphics, my computer came with windows 10, so upgrading to windows 10 is not the issue

Which i7 processor? There are seven generations of the i7.

This is your processor: http://ark.intel.com/products/88967/Intel-Core-i7-6700HQ-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-3_50-GHz Intel® Core™ i7-6700HQ Processor (6M Cache, up to 3.50 GHz) Specifications

You have Intel HD 530 graphics. You can get the latest driver here:

Personally, I would go back to the manufacturer and get their latest driver.
