FX 5200 GO Driver

[HisoKa]

hi all...
i owned a toshiba sattelite M30 notebook with GeForce FX5200 GO.
I wondered where can i get the latest driver for my VGA ? have been searching all over nVIDIA's website but unable to find any...
does nNIDIA regularly update its mobile graphics driver like they did with the desktop cards ? or maybe i should look for 3rd party driver ?


thx.

nVidia does not support the MOBILE (GeForce2 Go, GeForce4 Go and GeForce FX Go) GPU's.

The driver updates are up to the Manufacturer of the Notebook.

Which is just stupid. It's the same driver, but mobile makers tend to modify the chips slightly like running at lower speeds.

I have an M35. I don't try to game on it so updating drivers all the time is pointless.

Dell also used these cards (in the inspiron 5150 i think...) Will those drivers work for him?

 

[Lord Evermore]

Which "those" drivers? Dell's site should have the most up to date version available.

What i mean to ask is... will the updated drivers for the 5200 GO work on a toshiba with the same graphic card.... ?

Probably, but the installer may not run on anything but a Dell. Just extract the files and manually update then. Probably no performance difference though, it might be Dell-specific bug fixes, it's a minor point release.
