Hi All,

I am experiencing problems getting drivers for my old nforce2 motherboard. Nvidia's beta drivers (specifically Ethernet and audio drivers ) cannot be installed as they support down to nforce3.

Also my wireless network PCI card fails to be recognized: TP-LINK WN650G.

Do you have any recommendations?

Thanks,

Segar

Have you tried the beta drivers? I installed them for my nForce2 motherboard without any problems. Although, I would recommend creating a restore point before installing them.

As for the Wireless NIC, I have a Netgear WG311T PCI card and installed the XP drivers. No issues as yet. So you could try TP-LINK's XP drivers..?

Thank you. After having to connect via cable, I performed Windows Update and Vista nicely installed three drivers for me. All set!

Thanks.

      It won't perform hugely better than the 3080 unless you're VRAM limited in games. Have you tried putting new thermal pads on them 3080 and giving it a good clean to see if you can regain your temps and overclock?

      Windows 95 offered the ability to add and edit the right click menus, on a per file type basis. This feature seems to be missing in the new file explorer. Are they bringing it back as a "new" feature?

      It's nearly time to replace my aging Founders Edition 3080, it doesn't OC as nicely as it used to and it's running around 10c warmer than it did when I first bought it.  I don't have budget for much more than what I spent on the 3080 and locally, that means the best GPU I can manage is a 9070XT. On this basis I have a few questions: 1. At present I don't use ray tracing, if this was to change, would this GPU be an issue? 2. How does it compare on a performance basis? 3. Are the drivers worse or better than those for nVidia? 4. Linux support, is it there? 5. Anything else I should be aware of if I were to make this change? 6. Is it a good idea or shall I try and keep the 3080 a little longer.

      What OS is that? It looks a bit like Mac OS but the command line suggests it isn't, either way I like it!
