Which Nvidia video card driver is right for you?

I'm trying to install a nvidia video card driver and I found a place that has a list of nvidia video card drivers but I don't know exactly which one I should install. I have Windows XP, I have the nvidia geforce graphics card and some nvidia nforce motherboard stuff but its not enough info to help me choose. Should I download geforce 7 or geforce 800??? How can I find out? Please help...|||if you are using a Desktop Enter on the below link and choose option 1 or option 2 ( i prefer option 1 )

And u should download the lastest drivers for your video card





Cheers.|||it depends on what graphics card you have. if you have a geforce 7 series, then download those, if you have geforce 9 series, then download those. the nforce ones are for motherboard chipsets so dont worry about those. if you dont know what video card you have, run "dxdiag" and go to display tab, and it will show you what video card you have. another solution is to let nvidia scan your computer to find your video card, and it will determine the right drivers for you|||you most likely have a dedicated and integrated graphics card. if you're familiar with BIOS (when the computer loads), you should just turn the integrated video (the one built into the motherboard) off.



then download the universal driver from nvidia. there are always tweaked drivers that give you more performance, but i seriously doubt it will be significantly more than the default drivers.





also, go into you device manager and click on graphics cards and see if yours pops up in there... then google the driver for that specific model.|||FACT, if you have a laptop OR a PC that does not have a graphics card plugged into it, then you are using an integrated graphics processor. This is a chip that is mounted to the motherboard. If this is the case, you would go to your computers manufacturers' website (HP, Dell, Toshiba, Acer, etc) and download video drivers for your model. If you have a home build system, you would go to the motherboard makers website and get drivers.



FACT, if you have a PC with a graphics card plugged into it, pull the side cover, see what card you have (6200, 7500, 8600, 9500, etc) then go to the nVidia website and install the proper driver.



98% of laptops do not have a dedicated graphics card, they use an integrated graphics processor.



You would only get drivers from nVidia if you have a dedicated (plug in) graphics card.
