Are Forceware drivers the same as regular Nvidia drivers?
I wonder if the Forceware drivers are the same as NVidia drivers (the
unified drivers) ? I tried installing 66.00 and 66.30 but none of them installed correctly on my geForce FX 5900. I thought NVidia drivers were called 'Detonators' ? Anyway, I have 61.77 installed now (which is what is available on NVidia web site). I wonder if there are any newer Forceware drivers that would work with geForce 5900 ? Thank you, |

Thank you, As far as I know the older drivers are Detonators and starting with version 6x.xx renamed to Forceware - pure cosmetically! |

CapFusion, please read my post again :-).
I know it works, I have it installed. I'm asking what is a newer version of the driver that will work with the card. "CapFusion" wrote in message ... "Luke Piasecki" wrote in message ...

Then I do not fully understand your question. The latest nVidia driver publicly is 61.77. In OEM / Manufacturer / VAR etc will have like 65.xx series. This is not for the public. So, let start again. You ask what work for FX5900. My answer was 61.77 as the latest version. Next, you ask what the latest version will work for FX5900. My answer is 61.77 is the latest version will work for FX5900. I think you should read your own post and my reply to your post. It seem like "a dog trying to catch it own tail" senerio here. Or you want me to tell you the unrelease [non public] version to see if FX5900 [the card] will work or not? Or you can also try goto Guru3D for ForceWare driver - http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?id=10 This site will have like 66.10 for Windows2kXP [BETA]. CapFusion,... |

I think the Forceware drivers are for motherboards not video cards. The detonator drivers are for video cards. |

61.77 driver from nVidia should able to work with FX5900 model.
CapFusion,... All the drivers should work with all TNT/GForce cards. They are unified after all. |

the public. So OEM hardware isn't for the public? Who exactly is it for then? The Secret Society? |
