Puzzled about Vid Card

[TheVrolok]

I bought my vid card from an online dealer advertising an nVidia 64 meg GeForce 2 Pro.. when I received the card I thought nothing of it, installed it, and went about my business. Then after playing Half-Life a few times and having a number of video problems(blue screen errors when entering game play, screen freezes to black with a green strip across the top, etc.) I decided to look at it and it turned out the card is made by Creative. So I figured ok, good, that's interesting so I went to DL the drivers for that card to replace my nVidia one's... one problem, I have no idea what card it is and the model number (CT5830) comes up on no search anywhere, even at Creative.com. I think it's a GeForce 2 GTS, the only thing close to the Pro that Creative makes and was wondering if anyone has an ideas on what I can do to find out for sure. Also... I DL'd the drivers for the GTS from Creative but after running the installation program nothing happened. Any ideas? Thanks.

Go to ReactorCritical.com and download the reference drivers from nVidia.

Try a few different versions and see which gives you the best stability and speed.

Edit: Scroll down to the TNT/TNT2 section. The reference drivers in that section work for the Geforce series as well.

That my friend is an OEM card, several were sold here on Anandtech by Untamo (one bought by myself too...) it uses only Nvidia driver (detonator) try the 6.26 detonator drivers for the best results.
