Geforce2 MX/400 64mb Vista/7 Drivers


Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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

Take it from someone who had that card - you won't be able to properly play HL2 on there. You get around 20fps on there if you're lucky.

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

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.

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.

    • New PowerToys update fixes memory leaks and other issues by Taras Buria Another bug-fixing update is available for PowerToys version 0.100. After releasing version 0.100.1 with a bunch of bug fixes and patches, Microsoft pushed version 0.100.2 to address two important issues with one of Command Palette Dock's features. With PowerToys 0.100.2, Microsoft fixed the performance meter displaying incorrect values and memory leaks, which are particularly unwanted things in the current situation with overpriced PC hardware. Here is the changelog: Reverted a Performance Monitor dock refresh change that forced item refreshes on every metric update Fixed a memory leak in the Performance Monitor dock extension by reusing stable network upload/download band items instead of creating new list items on each refresh For those unfamiliar, Command Palette Dock is a relatively new addition to PowerToys. It is a taskbar-like tool that you can keep on top of the screen to pin various useful widgets, commands, and more. It can display time, weather, your PC's performance metrics, and more. Microsoft introduced the Command Palette Dock in March 2026 in PowerToys 0.98. Microsoft has dedicated documentation for Command Palette Dock, and you can check it out on the official Microsoft Learn website. You can update PowerToys to the latest version by going to Settings > General and clicking "Check for updates." Alternatively, you can download the installer from GitHub using this link. In other news, Microsoft is working on a new window-management utility for PowerToys. Called Alt Window Cycle, it will let you use the Alt + ` shortcut to switch between different windows in a single app. You can learn more about the tool here.
    • You did take leaf out of Trumps book already and had brexit - only to harm yourself. The same goes with this AI nonsense. The obvious solution for these companies is to move their head office to Brussels. I can see quite much irony there... 🙂
    • Thank gawd AT&T never worked with the US gov....
    • Wonder if they are trying to slow down Linux traction (not saying this is the only factor) in the consumer space. With the most pressure probably being steam deck/box, etc.
