There are 6 replies in this Thread. The last Post () by pcforce.

    The idea is ppl to get informed about new versions of nVidia ForceWare drivers, some interesting betas and modifications if needed. Those of you who want, can help and post such info, links to the drivers and share their experiance. If links are given i'll try to update the list bellow to be easier for the rest to get to them.

    Drivers Database


    97.19 Vista RTM x64 - GeForce FX to GeForce 7
    97.19 Vista RTM x86 - GeForce FX to GeForce 7
    96.94 XP/2k - moddified - support all cards
    97.02 XP/2k - moddified - support all cards

    New driver around is the leaked ForceWare 96.94 originaly used in GeForce 8800 GTX/GTS reviews. Its Windows XP/2000 driver with international language support. Whats interesting here is the driver contain information about 5 additional models based on nvidia's brand new G80 core. However originally it still dont support them. driver is been moddified to support all graphic cards including those 5 additional models which i choosed to be identified as "NVIDIA GeForce 8800 Series" (because there is no official info about the upcomming products and their names). Driver is not been tested cause i have only Windows Vista atm but you should have no problems. Driver been recompressed. Enjoy.



    Installation: run the exe to extract the files wherever you want and start the included setup.exe inside.

    i can say that 97.02 works on WinXP.
    i can't say how good it works coz i'm using Nvidia GeForce 2 MX 100/200.


    it doesn't works realy good with new drivres, so i'm back for 61.77(oldest i could found)


    maybe you know where i can download 4x.xx nvidia vga drivers for winxp?

    You can find even much older drivers if you log with FTP program at ftp://download.nvidia.com then go to folder Windows.

    There is one new leaked beta for Windows Vista RTM both 32-bit and 64-bit editions. I personally dont recommend you those cause after i spend some time looking in the files i think they are older and dont support OpenGL. Driver is not been modified cause as i said - dont recommend you installing thise.


    All cards from GeForce FX to GeForce 7 supported. There is no Control Panel and setup included. You have to install those manually - throught Device manager installing nv_LH.inf which is included in both versions of the driver.

    A new line of modified drivers is starting. Its name will be FX Edition. Only best driver releases are used to build their modified version under the FX name. All cards are supported except the oldest from TNT series. Still keep an eye on release notes for each driver and keep yourself updated for the changes.
