Video Card Problem

Morning, one of my fellow employees had a video card failure. We replaced it with a nvidia card that has no branding what-so-ever on it besides the name "nvidia" and "NV-1017" I've googled "nvidia 1017" and got a couple hints that it's a geforce. I downloaded the install but it says, "unable to detect geforce video card". I've tried every graphics driver for Windows 2000 on www.nvidia.com . This should not be this hard to find a damn driver 🙁
Anyone got any ideas?
 
Sounds like an original reference card. Personally, I'd just pitch it and buy a new one, not worth the effort IMO.
 
NV-1017 is the model number of the fan, not the card. That fan was used on many different types of cards, GeForce2, GeForce3, etc.

You'll probably have to go in the archives for 5x.xx drivers - several of the newest available drivers do not support older cards. Ran into issues trying to install drivers for a Hercules GeForce 2 Ultra, had to go several versions back before a driver would recognize the card.
