Anybody found Vista x64 drivers for nVidia GeForce 8600M GT (Macbook Pro)?

These guys at Apple are launching 64-bit Leopard and I still cannot find 64-bit graphics drivers for my laptop under Vista. It makes me sick. Their Boot Camp 1.4 vesion contains only 32-bit drivers.
It's the laptop manufacturer (Apple company) who are responsible for providing me with drivers, not the graphics card manufacturer (nVidia).
I have been waiting for 5 months already and will wait for another 1-2 months and if the drivers don't appear I'm going to sell the laptop because I simply cannot watch DVDs, I cannot play games without properly installed grahics card.
If you have the drivers, please let me know.
Best regards.

my vista 32bit works with the drivers from this page.
but u need to read the "Quickstart Guide" before you try installing the drivers

  • Update drivers for NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M

    Need the updated drivers for NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 330M that comes with my Vaio Z  VPCZ128GX , the drivers in eSupport are from 2010, and nVidia software does not detect the 330M card
    VPCZ125GX

    I've updated my VPCZ1 to 340.43 drivers but it still won't accept the transition to Windows 10, seems like they just want to find any excuse to back out of their promise of a free upgrade for windows 7 users. For anyone who is editing .inf files and still not able to get it to work, you need to update your intel drivers first. The process is a bit awkward, I tried to update the Geforce with a few pre-modded drivers, using the device manager. It would always freeze during installation or ask to reboot and start in 800x600 resolution. I also tried the latest intel drivers but was unable to update them at the time, so I gave up on the idea for a while. Later, I ran into trouble running GTAV, the game would start fine but suddenly crash to desktop while loading. I remembered how the latest driver broke the intel driver, so I rebooted with the laptop in "stamina", installed the latest compatible onboard graphics driver and rebooted in "speed" mode, which incapacitated the 2010 nvidia driver so I had a new "unknown device" under "display adapters" in the device manager. I pointed it to the 340.43 drivers (latest driver I could find for 330m which still uses inf files) which I modified earlier and success, GTAV now runs. Editing inf files is surprisingly simple, just find mention of "330m" in one of the inf files (which are lists of subsys numbers) and replace the subsys number with the one from your card in device manager when using the 2010 drivers. (there are alraedy a lot of them in the inf, I guess it's true that no two 330m are the same) I've always left it on "speed", ever since it booted with the new drivers, The GPU is easily underclockable using Precision X for more battery life. http://i59.tinypic.com/swd3lx.jpg Only side effect I know so far is that the screen rotation doesn't work, although I never tried it with the old driver combo.

  • Normal temperature for NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT

    Hi, what is the normal temperature for NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT when on notebook I use only word, or some programs, no play games.

    Quote from: Mike on 01-February-10, 11:02:34
    normal depends on the environment, the ambient temperature.  Is it hot where you use it?  Do you use it on a hard surface or place it directly on your lap or some cloth type surface.  There are quite a number of variables.  What temperatures are you noticing?
    if I work with word or use internet the temperature is about 55*C

  • Can i install a NVIDIA Geforce to a macbook pro 13"?

    Hi, I would like to know if I can install an NVIDIA Geforce to a macbook pro 13".

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    The 13-inch MacBook Pro comes with an integrated GPU that can't be replaced because it's required by the processor or that is soldered onto the logic board. There isn't any other port to connect a GPU, so you can't install another GPU onto the MacBook Pro.

  • Drivers for NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M on my Macbook?

    I have been trying to get an answer to my  question re: drivers for my NVDIA card. I have searched the community ( apologies if I overlooked something), but it seems there is no answer. I am not dualbooting my 2013 MacBook ( chipset NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M). I get the error that my card needs updating.
    I contacted NVIDIA and their response was as follows:
    “We do not have any driver listed for Mac OS for this chipset, you will have to contact Apple and check with them.
    The laptop graphic cards are not manufactured by NVIDIA, they are customized, designed and manufactured by the laptop manufactures.Also, for laptops, the primary source of driver update is the driver from the laptop manufacturer”.
    Apple, if you haunt these boards,  – can you weigh in on this? Thanks in advance to anyone else who can shed some light on this.

    betababe,
    what is giving you the error that your card’s driver needs to be updated?

  • Drivers for NVIDIA Geforce 320m (Windows 7).

    I've got my new MBP 13", but i don't have a cd with the bootcamp drivers for the video card, because I've lost my recovery DVD. So i'm seeking help with that. I wonder where can i get these drivers, because NVIDIA ones, even beta, not supporting this chip yet. Maybe i can get a recovery dvd iso or dmg somehow. I've got bootcamp 3.0 and 3.1 update installed on my windows machine, but still no luck, because the 3.1 version is dated mid january and my MBP is mid 2010.

    Somewhat related, my 13" MacBook Pro with BootCamped XP freezes when I open up BootCamp from the control panel and move the brightness slider/window around. To fix this, I'm trying to install the newest NVidia drivers.
    With a NVIDIA GeForce 320M display card installed, trying to install the newest NVidia drivers on XP, I continuously get an error say "The NVIDIA Setup program could not locate any drivers that are compatible with your current hardware. Setup will now exit."
    One way to solve this, as suggested by someone on another forum, was to install the drivers manually, and at the 99%~100% during installation, when it shows the error message "Your installation cannot continue, will revert back to your old display drivers when you click OK" at which point I don't press OK, but immediately hold the power button down for 5 seconds, after I re-boot, my new drivers work fine.
    Except,
    I can't control brightness from the control panel's bootcamp slider, nor keyboard shortcuts, it's continuously 100% brightness.
    I've been working on this problem for 2 days, and I can't yet properly install the new NVidia drivers into XP. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

  • Updating drivers for Nvidia Geforce GTX 460m in Qosmio X505-Q896

    I have been trying to update the GTX 460m driver from ver. 259.12 to the newest version 260.99. This newer driver is needed to make an older video game(Final Fantasy 11) playable. It has been available on Nvidia's site for some time now but is still not available on Toshiba's site for some reason. Simply downloading from the Nvidia website and running the file gets me this message "The graphics driver could not find compatible graphics hardware". It got me scratching my head because this model laptop has that specific graphics card.
    I called Toshiba support and they told me that because the kind of GTX 460m in this computer is specifically made for Toshiba the driver update is not supported. That doesn't make any sense to me.  Why wouldn't a driver specifically made for the Nvidia Geforce GTX 460m not be compatible with a Nvidia Geforce GTX 460m?
    This was in the notes on the driver download page from Nvidia. "Notebooks supporting Hybrid Power technology with Intel chipsets are not supported by this release." Could this be the problem? I have no idea if this laptop has Hybrid power or intel chipsets. It also downloaded the file into international instead of the english folder. I am at my wits end. I just want to play a game.
    Is there a way around this ?
    I put another post similiar to this one in the driver forum but didn't really get any help. I am hoping for a little more exposure and that's why this is in the general forums.

    ShawnWiseman,
    This is a known issue with Nvidia GPUs - not just the Qosmio.
    Go here:
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/w​indows_7-hardware/display-driver-stopped-respondin​...
    I have a Qosmio X505-Q870 and can tell you that the stuff discussed at the link I provided did NOT resolve my issue.
    It will, however, give you some background and leave you with the conclusion that 'you are not alone' with the problem.
    I have seen posts around the web that suggest re-applying thermal paste to the CPU and GPU along with cleaning the cooling fans will resolve this issue.
    I have also seen posts stating that the GPU will have to be replaced . . .
    Take your pick!
    I believe it IS heat-related . . .
    What I did was remove the bottom covers from my machine and sit it on top of a Coolermaster NotePal X3 laptop cooler and it resolved the issue . . .
    Good Luck!

  • How to install drivers for nvidia geforce 6800gt for AGP

    I might be completely blind, but I have no idea as to how to install the necessary drivers I need for my new (used) graphics card. My card is not displaying properly (doing all this in safe mode) and I'm pretty sure I need the drivers. Please help.
    Thanks in advance.

    So sorry for wasting anybody's time. Steve, you're right, the drivers were already there. I missed a very, very small detail on the card and the instructions. There were 2 minuscule pieces of tape that needed to be pulled off from the card (I guess they were left on in case the buyer had a g4. But with a g5, and 8x agp, those two little pieces of tape needed to be pulled off. After I pulled them off and re-installed the card, everything started up immediately and display works! Sorry again, but thanks for the quick response.

  • CUDA drivers for Nvidia GeForce GTX 780M

    Hi, may I know if my current display card supports CUDA driver and if not would it be possible to download the driver and install it manually from Nvidia's website without conplicating the system?
    My iMac specs:
    3.5 GHz Intel Core i7
    16GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Nvidia GeForece GTX 780M 4096MB
    1TB Fusion Drive
    Thanks!
    Best Regards,
    Marc

    Yes, your iMac does support CUDA. The other responder is incorrect in this situation. I have the same model and installed the CUDA driver with Preference Pane from NVIDIA.  I have the Neat Video Denoiser plugin for FCPX and it states that it will be faster and more efficient if the GPU parallel processing is enabled with the NVIDIA CUDA driver for Mac.  It works like a charm and is only utilized by apps that can use it.  Regarding the other respondent, yes, generally you want to install things from the Mac App Store, but that does not mean there are cases where you need or wish to install special apps, preference panes, etc that are not part of OS X or available in the App Store. The CUDA driver is one of them.  It's entirely safe to install and will significantly boost your performance in apps that support parallel GPU computation.

  • Drivers for NVidia GeForce 9400M/9600M on Unibody Macbook Pro?

    I'm currently on Windows 7. Everything works fine, but when I look at my hardware info, my Nvidia cards aren't there. I went ot their site, downloaded the 9M series driver pack, but I get an error saying there are no cards of that type on my laptop.

  • Where do you get drivers for windows 7 running on macbook pro late 2011

    I tried using the troubleshooter but they just say need driver nothing else

    If you use bootcamp to put windows 7 in your macbookpro, Your can use the Mac OS X CD Installer that comes in the box when you bought your mac just go to windows Operating system then put in the CD its automatically detected and install the drivers you need, but if you dont have the Mac OS X installer, you can get the drivers using the bootcamp application.

  • NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT driver for Vista x64

    Hello,
    I have an issue with my new MacBook Pro 2.4Ghz 17" that was released on the 5th of June, 2007.
    It has NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT installed on it and I simply cannot find Vista 64 bit drivers for it.
    I have tried the latest beta Vista x64 drivers (163.11) downloaded from nVidia's official website. I have tried several previous versions including 100.97 one, which contains drivers for 8600M GT model. But they don't work with me. All the driver installation programs allert the following error and quit:
    'The NVIDIA Setup program could not locate any drivers that are compatible with your current hardware. Setup will now exit'.
    I also tried Vista 32-bit drivers for 8600M GT. The driver installation program claims the operation system is wrong and quits.
    Anybody has the same issue?
    Does a working driver of nVidia GeForce 8600M GT for Vista x64 exist at all?
    MacBook Pro 2.4Ghz   Windows Vista   nVidia GeForce 8600M GT

    There was one Apple's presentstion where they boot into Windows Vista. So if you claim you can do it why do you forget about Vista x64 customers? I reckon it is because of Leopard that is coming. But it's not an excuse.
    I'm currently working in Vista x64 and everything is fine except one thing, I cannot find a working graphics card driver and it is manufacturer's responsibility to provide it. Apple knew there going to be customers who will install Vista x64 on their computers and they at Apple didn't care about it because I guess it's a lame war between you know who.
    So why you don't make everything perfect to attract even more Windows customers but instead you hint that you don't care about Vista x64 as you are getting your own 64-bit OS soon. So now they are forcing me to wait having been announced that I can use Vista. But isn't that kind of lame that it's slightly tardy? Why I should wait for Leopard launch if I was insured that Windows will work on my Macbook Pro? Because Apple claim you can run Windows. And don't say it's not official. Who else if not Apple made it possible to run Windows on Mac.
    Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to insult you. I'm just angry that I cannot find a working driver.
