What drivers for TNT2 on XP?

[maxypad]

I am selling my 9800pro and since I mostly just surf the net, I don't need a new graphics card (I'll wait until some proper DX10 and HDCP compliant cards come out) and I'm running on a TNT2 Riva. If someone could link me to the right download page, I would really appreciate it. I tried the forceware 71.xx drivers off of nVidia's site but it wouldn't detect that I have a card that is compliant with the drivers (even though it is theoretically supported by the 71.xx family of drivers). My PC is running really badly and such and it is extremely difficult to navigate many webpages, otherwise I would do it myself.

Thanks.

Last version of nVIDIA drivers to support that card.

Did you read my post?

Yeah I had to do this a while back... none of nvidias drivers work. Your best bet is to use the drivers recommended from windows update.

I think Nvidia stopped supporting Riva 128 through GeForce2 cards in the 7x.xx Forcewares. Find some 6x.xx Forcewares and you should be golden. Heck, if you can find some Detonator drviers, those would work too I think.

Sorry, I dont have a link, but hopefully 6x.xx Forcewares shouldnt be a problem to find.

And I'm telling you they work. If you are having problems installing them, that's a you problem. You can't link directly to the download because they have an acceptance page.

If that doesn't work for you, find another PC and get a thumb drive.

Even 4x.. drivers don't work on this card let alone 6x.xx... you need to use the windowsupdate.com drivers. Trust me.

Read the bottom. I just installed a TNT2 in one of my boxes with the drivers linked there (exact same ones I linked from above), just to make sure again (since I did it last week as well).

Products supported for the 71.89 (and presumably the 71.84's, since the link above is to the 71.84 page, although it came from the 71.89 page)

I thought windows had built in drivers for the card anyway!
