Is it safe to update the nVidia graphics drivers for WinXP on Bootcamp?

Hello again,
Is it safe to update the nVidia graphics drivers for WinXP on Bootcamp?

YES we are both stating the same thing however in different terms. You will be fine with the updates that you are talking about. Just ensure that the drivers that you are updating match the make/model of your graphics adapter.
If something doesn't work out then you can always revert back to the previous driver.

    Purchased a early 2008 Mac Pro in 2010. Yesterday I updated my mac to System 10.9 and now I have a dialogue box in system preferences saying I need to update the NVIDIA CUDA drivers but the servers are unavailable. I download a driver from the site but the Mac would not open it. This system has an ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256 MB graphics card. What do I need to do. Do I need a new Card?

    Vista Ultimate 64-bit recognizes 8 cores. 32-bit recognizes one physical cpu.
    I've had very little trouble in two years. And now I do like Windows 7 but also eager for the RC.
    I've been using the latest Nvidia. There is a method to the madness of how to uninstall/delete and install graphics drivers, or madness in the method. The W7 drivers are easier.
    Nope. Something else. More sensitive to disk errors. You aren't running a program to boost fans. Something.
    And some AV software is more prone to causing trouble. But all you need is a good AV/malware program, and even Norton AV 2009 is acceptable, or Avast or one of the others.

  • How do I update my Nvidia graphics drivers on Bootcamp using Windows 8.1

    Hey all,
    I have been running bootcamp with my MacBook Pro with retina display, mid 2013 model for quite some time, but only recently did the windows 8.1 update from windows 8. I have been prompted by some games, namely Fifa 15, to update to the latest Nvidia graphics driver. Now, i know that just downloading the driver from the website is bad as bootcamp needs to run on the drivers anyway, so how do I update these drivers? and what is the latest set of apple support drivers for my model, because I keep seeing different ones everywhere. also i would rather not wait for an update on the part of apple support drivers.
    any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Many Thanks,
    Sam

    Please see Huge lag in games on bootcamp as a reference. The linked thread is for a GT750m.
    Since there are no mid-2013 Retina models (as per Apple - Support - Technical Specifications), assuming this is your Mac - MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013) - Technical Specifications - the same should work for you.

  • How do I install the builtin graphics drivers for my Dell Latitude D620 in Windows 8.1?

    Hi, I would like to be guided through the correct driver installation for the in-built integrated graphics driver for my "Dell Latitude D620" Laptop PC which is running Windows 8.1 Pro (32-bit). By default, Windows 8.1 includes ans installs the
    "Microsoft Basic Display Adapter driver" to maintain compatibility with the OS. I would like to install the original and genuine graphics driver supplied by Dell Inc. (not by Microsoft) on Win 8.1, how can I achieve this? please
    help.

    Yes, Dell will have better answer for this issue
    Since this PC quite old, I suggest contact Dell
    Based on product spec, your Laptop maybe using 256MB NVIDIA<sup>®</sup> Quadro NVS 110M TurboCache or
    Intel<sup>®</sup> Graphics Media Accelerator 950 (Up to 224MB shared<sup>5</sup>)
    http://www.dell.com/us/dfb/p/latitude-d620/pd
    there is no driver for Windows 8.1 32 bit
    http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/Product/latitude-d620
    This is Windows 8.1 system requirement, I suggest discuss with Dell

  • I have installed nvidia graphics drivers on windows 7 (bootcamp) now i can't use windows, it's just a black screen, how do i resolve this?

    I have installed nvidia drivers from nvidias website for my geforce gt 650m on my early 2013 macbook pro retina 15", now i can't use windows in bootcamp, whenever i go into windows it turns into a black screen before i can see my desktop. How do i resolve this?

    From the home screen, double click the home button to bring up the Recently used App list. Find the App with the problem and hold your finger on it untl the Apps start to shake. When that happens tap on the (x) on the right side corner of the app to close it.
    Tap the home button again to get back to the home screen, and try to open the App again.
    If that doesn't work, try resetting the iPad. (there should be no data loss):
    Press and Hold the Power and home buttons until the Apple Logo shows up. Ignore any sliders that may appear.
    When the iPad turns back on, try opening the App again.

  • Xorg Problem - Failed to initialize the NVIDIA graphics device!

    Hello.
    I've encountered a problem while installing my Xorg server, which I'd like to use with KDE.
    Here's the track of my xorg installation:
    # sudo pacman -Syu
    # sudo pacman -S xorg
    (my graphic card is vVidia GeForce 8600 GT)
    # sudo pacman -S nvidia-96xx nvidia-96xx-utils
    # sudo nvidia-xconfig
    (that's where I wanted to check if I did everything right)
    #sudo startx
    Xorg started loading and after a few secs it printed such output:
    NVIDIA: could not open the devie file /dev/nvidia0 (Input/output error).
    (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA graphics device PCI:4:0:0.
    (EE) NVIDIA(0): Please see the COMMON PROBLEMS section in the README for additional information.

    What should I do?

    1. wrong driver. the 96xx driver is for horrible old hardware, like the gf4. Install 'nvidia' and 'nvidia-utils' instead.
    2. don't use nvidia-xconfig, it's not needed.
    3. reboot after installing the driver if you havn't disabled kms already.

    OK, I will try to explain it as best as I can. Get back to me if it works OK . This is to update the NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M Version 295.73  drive for Windows 7 Professional 64bit bootcamp on Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3.
    _Go to.http://nvidia.com, select download drivers, select GeForce, click on Auto detect your GPU. Download the drivers, once downloaded run the installer ( I just did it all over again and when I ran it it installed the driver right away), you might or might not get an error saying it is not compatible, is OK. Now right click on your computer, click on Manage,click on Device Manager, then double click on Display adapters, right click on the adapter. Select Update Driver Software, CLick where it says Browse my computer for driver software. Then CLick where it says let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer. CLick on Have Disk. Then Browse,
    got to computer/C/NVIDIA/DisplayDriver/295.73/WinVista_Win7_64/International/Display.Dr iver click open the OK, then you will have a list with drivers, select the one for your computer and click next and install. You will get a windows saying it is not recommended to install blah blah, but if you want to update your driver just install it. I hope this work and good luck, let me know.

  • Do I have to uninstall the CS4 software before updating the NVIDIA driver and reinstall CS4 after?

    I have just installed CS4 on Windows 7 and I get the message that I need to update NVIDIA driver.
    Is it really neccassary to update driver even if I have no problems using Photoshop?
    Do I have to uninstall the CS4 software before updating the NVIDIA  driver and reinstall CS4 afterwards or is there a way around it?
    Here are the technical details:

    I have never had to reinstall any program for a video driver.
    Now, check out the instructions for your particular nVidia driver, and the exact steps can differ. Just did my Quadro FX-4500 and it was just an install over the older driver. However, looking at another nVidia card's driver, and there were 3-4 settings in the nVidia console, that had to be reset BEFORE installing that driver. Did not affect me, but would have been a different operation for the next guy, with a different nVidia card. nVidia makes it easy with the necessary instructions - follow those to the letter, or issues can arise and the entire driver can get hosed. Things could be a simple as download, and execute, to having to do several things before you execute.
    Good luck,

  • Y410P Nvidia graphics drivers crash when gaming

    Hello everyone. I'm having an issue with my IdeaPad Y410P where the graphics drivers for the system's GT750M will randomly crash. A search turned up this thread but it was of no help. Some details:- Problem began this May.- Problem does not occur after a specific period of time. It may happen after 5 minutes of gaming or an hour.- Problem occurs regardless of driver version, or whether I'm using Nvidia drivers or official Lenovo drivers.- Problem occurred in two Windows 8.1 installations and still occurs in Windows 10.- Problem occurs regardless of GPU temperature - I have monitored the system using GPU-Z and have not found any trends.- Problem occurs regardless of game played.- System usually recovers but game remains totally frozen after crash. At this point I'm starting to suspect that the graphics card itself is at fault. Any suggestions on how to fix this would be much appreciated.

    Uninstall the currently installed version and and install the 6.14.0.104 version using the download links provided here:

  • Update v460 switchable graphics drivers

    I've tried to update the graphics drivers from nvidia and that completely screws up the switchable graphics functioning and pretty much the resolution goes to crap and I have to do a system revert to fix it. Does anybody know if lenovo has released updated switchable graphics drivers for the v460? because in many programs (games) it says to update the graphics drivers and the screen flickers and the computer becomes generally unusable.
    thanks!

    try to perform clean windows installation by pressing one key recover first.
    then check if you have any issue with your graphic card, if not avoid updating drivers, if you do, just try to update drivers from the link below.

  • HT4664 What is the best graphics card for FCPX?

    In the nonstop anti-FCPX propaganda is an article of interest — posted 7/9/12 — comparing the benchmarks of FCPX and PP6.
    http://www.streamingmedia.com/Producer/Articles/ReadArticle.aspx?ArticleID=83582 &PageNum=1
    The system used was a 2 x 2.93 GHz Quad-Core Mac Pro from early 2009 running MacOS X version 10.7.4 with 12 GB of RAM and an NVIDIA Quadro FX 4800 graphics card with 1.5 GB of onboard RAM.
    In most cases PP6 outperformed FCPX with this configuration. However, in the comments Ben Balser pointed out that FCP X's A/VFoundation engine wasn't ideal on the NVIDA card:
    "Quadro is actually not the best card for FCP X's A/VFoundation engine, but great for CS6's Mercury engine, so the test is amazingly flawed right there. Try both on a 5780 card and watch things drastically change. I've done that test myself. Exporting to Compressor uses a MUCH more sophisticated encoding engine meant for higher level, professional transcoding, not simple outputs, which are faster using Export Media…"
    Apple lists this card on its support page: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4664
    So,
    What is the best graphics card for FCPX?

    Ben,
    Thanks for chiming in on that article. It would be good to have a benchmark comparison with the two systems each with a preferred card.
    I'm hoping to see some other comparisons on this thread. Also, some links to other articles about best practices and configurations.
