Jamushroom Veteran Posted July 22, 2010 Veteran Share Posted July 22, 2010 nVidia probably doesn't make drivers for such old cards anymore ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allis Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 There are no WDDM (Windows Display Driver Model) drivers available for a GeForce 2 card for use with Windows Vista or Windows 7. You should be able to use the latest available Windows XP (XPDM) drivers for your video card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaffra Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Anyone got any ideas where i can get hold of some Vista/7 drivers for a old card... its the Geforce2 MX/400 64mb version thanks i did test this card with windows 7, the default driver from windows seem to be the best. trying the forceware 7x. 8x series gave some bsods. aero doesnt work of course.

Lazure Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 I think the earliest nvidia card that works properly in Windows 7 with full resolution/3D/Aero support is the FX5200. There are plenty of AGP video cards all over the internet being sold at dirt cheap prices, which are far, far superior to the geforce2. I would recommend getting one of those if you want proper video support in Windows 7 on that old of a machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raa Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 You won't get any drivers. Just drop the card in, and use default drivers. That's all you can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jamesyfx Subscriber² Posted July 22, 2010 Subscriber² Share Posted July 22, 2010 I would just remain with the default driver that was installed - I can't imagine you using it for anything intensive if it's such an antiquated card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unimatrix Xero Posted July 23, 2010 Author Share Posted July 23, 2010 tbh all its going to be doing is playing Plants Vs zombies and possibly HL2 (if it can cope) anything gotta be better than the crappy onboard chip that running in my partner PC atm Im picking up some more old parts on sunday, so im hoping there might be something decent in that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TokiToki Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 You can always try the last Win XP GeForce2 MX 400 drivers. When I was playing with Win7 on an old P3 with a GeForce2 GTS, I installed the XP drivers successfully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get around 20fps on there if you're lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unimatrix Xero Posted July 23, 2010 Author Share Posted July 23, 2010 might give that a shot actully shortly thanks TokiToki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. The card's 10 years old now. It remains my second favorite video card of all time, but it just can't hold it's muster anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unimatrix Xero Posted July 23, 2010 Author Share Posted July 23, 2010 well the XP drivers installed buy everytime i went to load a game or refresh my WEI it kept bluescreening, so ive taken the card out now thanks for the help everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Gibs Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 You can try www.laptopvideo2go.com , I know it says laptop in the name but they're basically just the regular drivers in which the install config has been edited to support pretty much all of nVidia's cards. well the XP drivers installed buy everytime i went to load a game or refresh my WEI it kept bluescreening, so ive taken the card out now I believe Windows 7 / Vista use a different driver framework than XP so thats probably why.

SakuraKira Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us Unfortunately their official driver list doesn't go that far back, and the older cards (GeForce 4 and older - I had one of these in an XP machine that lasted 4 years) only go as high as XP 64-bit.

You have to select Legacy in "Product Type" to get drivers for their older products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
