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.

    • yes AND no the "original" or plain/normal Optiplex 7010 won't be getting any more new firmware updates BUT the Optiplex SFF/SFF Plus {small form factor}, Micro/Micro Plus & Tower/Tower Plus 7010 editions DO get new updates such as this new one   and here are similar guides from the Dell web site for Dell systems: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000390990/secure-boot-transition-faq https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000347876/microsoft-2011-secure-boot-certificate-expiration

    • Edifier S3000MKII hi-fi audiophile grade bookshelf speaker is at its lowest price now by Sayan Sen Yesterday we covered a bunch of Dolby Atmos soundbar deals with several ones from Sony, as well as from JBL, Samsung, Polk Audio, and more. You can check them out in this dedicated piece. Those are not audiophile category speakers though as they are built with home theater use in mind. If you are searching for the former then Edifier has its S3000MKII at its lowest price at the moment (purchase link under the specs table down below). This is a two-way bookshelf monitor speaker designed to produce accurate sound. While it may not produce the best high-fidelity audio possible out there, it should still be significantly better than what you will get on soundbars of this price range. As such it will do justice to high-res audio played back through it. The only thing that may feel lacking is sub-bass as Edifier claims the unit can go down to 38 Hz, which should be enough for studio monitor purposes, but not for deep room-shaking rumbling bass. Where this does excel though is in its treble reproduction. With its super-tweeter, it claims to go as high as 40 kHz in the frequency spectrum, which should offer a sense of "air"yness. This is an active speaker which means it packs its own amplfication. It has a top-notch Class D amp that may be able to rival many Class AB designs too in terms of sound reproduction quality. The technical specs of the Edifier S3000MKII are given in the table below: Specification Value RMS Output Power 256W RMS (Treble: 8W × 2, Mid-Low: 120W × 2) Tweeter Driver 107mm × 107mm Planar Magnetic Tweeter Mid-Low Driver 6.5-inch (179mm) Long-Throw Aluminum Diaphragm Driver Frequency Response 38Hz – 40kHz Signal-to-Noise Ratio ≥ 85dB (A) Bluetooth Version Bluetooth 5.0 Bluetooth Codec Qualcomm® aptX™ HD Wireless Speaker Link Proprietary 5.8GHz wireless connection between speakers Supported Hi-Res Audio Hi-Res Audio Certified, up to 24-bit/192kHz Digital Processing XMOS XU216 Digital Signal Processor Audio Inputs Balanced XLR, Optical, Coaxial, USB Type-B, Line In, Bluetooth Input Sensitivity (USB) 400 ± 50mFFs Input Sensitivity (Optical) 400 ± 50mFFs Input Sensitivity (Coaxial) 400 ± 50mFFs Input Sensitivity (Bluetooth) 450 ± 50mFFs Input Sensitivity (Balanced XLR) 1000 ± 50mV Input Sensitivity (Line In) 600 ± 50mV ADC Capability Up to 24-bit/192kHz DSP Capability Up to 24-bit/192kHz DIX Capability Up to 24-bit/216kHz DAC Capability Up to 32-bit/384kHz XMOS Processing Power Up to 2,000 MIPS Edifier S3000MKII Audiophile Active (Powered) Wireless Speakers: $799.99 (Sold by Edifier US, Shipped by Amazon US) If you do not have the kind of budget to spend on the S3000MKII, you can also check out the Edifier R1280Ts which is right now on sale at just $114 (its lowest price in a very long time).
