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.

    • Payday TWO!! Is 13 years old man I feel old - I remember trying it out and if I did not know I would say 5-6 years ago or something
    • Payday 2 engine upgrade adds 64-bit and DX11 support, drastically shrinks install size by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Payday 2, the most popular entry in the heisting game franchise, is getting a surprising update after all these years. This is slated to be a complete engine upgrade that will enhance almost every aspect of the 13-year-old title, targeting performance, loading times, file size, rendering backend, and more. Developer Sidetrack Games is planning a beta to test out the new version ahead of the full public launch. The development team today revealed that the long-awaited upgrade to the 64-bit architecture is happening with this Diesel 3.0 engine update. By letting the game use more ram than 4GB, it is said to improve stability and compatibility on most hardware. It should also help modders in the long term with implementing larger changes too. "While many of the changes are made on the backend and not everything will be visible to you guys because it is a massive rewrite of the entire codebase, there will be a lot of things that you can look forward to," Sidetrack explained. Payday 2 will also hop over from DirectX 9 to 11. Instead of visual improvements, this is slated to reduce the amount of VRAM used by the title, letting more lower-end hardware access the title and run it better. Since these changes would require a complete redownload of the game anyway, Sidetrack says it has revamped "the game's packaging and bundling system." This should reduce the installation size from 86GB to 32GB. "So, now it's time to finally move the game to your SSDs," added the studio. The Payday 2 Diesel Engine 3.0 update is entering open beta on June 30 for Steam users. No console release plans were announced today. Sidetrack Games says it has been working on this complete rewrite of the codebase for the last nine months. While these changes should break most mods, the studio encouraged modders to use the beta period to repair their creations with support from the development team.
