Update Your XPS 9560 with NVIDIA Graphics: A Guide

Are you experiencing issues with your Dell XPS 9560 laptop, specifically with the NVIDIA graphics driver update? You're not alone. Many users have reported struggles with scaling and resolution on their high-resolution monitors, particularly when running applications designed for X11. In this article, we'll delve into the challenges of updating your XPS 9560's NVIDIA graphics driver and provide a step-by-step guide to help you overcome these issues.

The situation becomes even more complicated when discussing applications designed specifically for X11. While it's understandable that some apps might not scale well on Linux, those that do often function flawlessly on the platform. In contrast, many native Mac applications appear poorly on OS X when set to 3840x2160 resolution. The inconsistent scaling of both system-level UI and application UI is a significant issue.

One question that arises from this situation is: what applications don't rely on Cocoa? Both native Mac apps and those using Cocoa can scale seamlessly at 2560x1440, but the external monitor only displays at 3840x2160 due to OS X's default settings. Increasing the resolution may temporarily improve performance, but users often find themselves switching back to a lower resolution due to the poor experience.

For those who have experienced these issues firsthand, it may be difficult to imagine what they're missing or what exactly isn't displaying correctly. This article aims to provide clarity and guidance on updating your XPS 9560's NVIDIA graphics driver for optimal performance on high-resolution monitors like the Dell P2715Q connected to a MacBook Pro (13', 2015).
