Thread: Nvidia Drivers

  1. #1
    I am not sure if this goes in hardware or software, being as I need software for hardware components. Anyway, recently I had computer trouble, and since it was fixed the graphics on my computer have been dodgy at best, with nothing being able to run at full screen and everything that moves being jumpy.

    Well, after trying to install a game and it saying it was unable to initialize 3D output, I realised I had not updated my drivers. I am using a Nvidia Geforce 6200 128MB graphics card and can not find drivers for it, can anybody help me out here?

    Much appreciated if you can.

    Most NVIDIA drivers are the same:

    Go to Graphics Driver > GeForce and TNT2

    Thanks, I did look there, but because I could not see my card, I did not download anything else.

    No problem. That's one of the reasons I like NVIDIA over ATI.

    I was always irritated by all of the ATI bs that you are required to install.

    You can always check the release notes to be sure your nVidia product is supported in the latest release, however you should really always use the drivers that originally come with the product. As I've been told...

    But as Skizo said nVidia drivers are compatible for most of their cards (Not sure about old GeForce 2s...)

    I disagree with that. Driver improvements made after that point can be quite beneficial.

    Ditto.

    Drivers sometimes require an update just like most software. Often times your disc will only contain "driver 1.0", while the appropriate website may have v2.3 for example.

    Its of no matter anyway, I do not have the disk with the origional drivers and I can not find the drivers specifically for the 6200, these drviers work fine and I am ok with that.
