Latest Release 265 Series Nvidia Drivers for Lenovo T61p?

I ran 3DMark06 this evening on my T9300 T61p and got my usual 4460 Benchmark Score .... however, the benchmark's results page today lists a newer Nvidia Quadro FX notebook series driver available for my WinXP 32-bit system directly from Nvidia.
At the Nvidia site it looks like it's Nvidia's Verde Notebook Release 265 Series v266.58 WQHL Certified display driver, released in January 2011, which claims support for notebooks using Quardro FX 570M graphics.
The Nvidia download site is found here:
http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx
I selected from the Nvidia Menu:
Quadro , then
Quadro FX Series (notebooks) , then
Quardro FX 570M , then
Quardro Graphics Driver , (from a choice of 5 different drivers for different scenarios), then
Windows XP , then
English , then
Search
Anyone tried this driver setup yet?
Two (I used to have Five) - T61p 15.4" WS T9300 2.5Ghz units, August 08/08 Builds with FX570M Nvidia Graphics; ... One W520 i7-2860QM w/2000M Nvidia Graphics (most recent acquisition and stupidly fast); .... One - T42 4:3 15" Flexview 1.8GHz with ATI Graphics (still perfect for traveling); ... Two - T500 15.4" units both with ATI HD3650 Graphics.

My advice is proceed with caution. Latest drivers aren't always the best option. I'd also read the release notes and see what was done to them. Driver updates are often issued for non-issues and won't make any difference. Here is an example of a ficticous update reason.
Bugfix: driver cause BSOD crash on dell XPS model XXX to YYY when entering hibernation
Such an update would never be picked up by Lenovo because it won't matter to any lenovo computer, and if you constantly update to the latest drivers, you're not avoiding problems, your making yourself little more then a beta tester running new code that could turn out to be unstable.
My motto is...    if it's not broke, don't fix it!!!

  • CUDA support of nVidia drivers for T61

    May be a redundant question, but does the nvidia drivers for T61 available on Lenovo's website contain CUDA support (I know from nVidia's website that nvidia Quadro NVS140M is a CUDA-enabled product)? Just wondering before I go ahead and install the drivers, toolkit and SDK for CUDA on the computer.

    The drivers from Microsoft support CUDA and all features of the 570m on Windows 7.  I have not tried installing them on Vista, but it should work there too.
    No hack or tweaks required.  Just download, install, and CUDA works right out of the box.  This also boosted my "Experience Index Score" by a few points on Windows 7.
    Get them here.  You must use IE to access this site.

    Try on Vista and let us know.

  • NVidia Drivers for F10-100

    Can anyone tell me if its possible to update the nvidia drivers for the above model beyond that which is currently listed in the toshiba updates section. Those drivers are quite old now, and I tried downloading the MCE specific drivers from nvidia, but just got a stop notice saying the product was not supported.
    Can they be updated at all?
    I even tried the XP Pro drivers to no avail.

    You can have a look at this page:
    http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/
    But if you decide to install one of these drivers, you'll have to do it at your own risks. I have personnaly installed version 77.72 on my Qosmio G20-107 and it's working great ! Here are the benchs i have before/after installing them:

  • Installing 186.81 Nvidia Drivers for Windows 7 64-bit on Lenovo Laptops 2700M/3700M NVS140M

    UPDATE: I removed old 186.03 info and replaced with new driver info. Also I changed the device ID for the 3700m becasue it was not correct. I finally got a w700ds to test it on. Removed pre-edited INF files becsue they are no longer valid.
    Here are some instructions on how to get the Nvidia drivers installed instead of waiting for Lenovo to update theirs. I take no responsibility if you break anything. I am a tinkerer and not a expert. It is working fine for me on a w700 with a 2700m.  The NVS140M section may not work I have no means to test it. Let me know if you do it and it works fine. This should also technically work for Vista 64-bit.
    1. Go tohttp://www.nvidia.com/object/notebook_winvista_win7_x64_186.81_whql.html and download the drivers.
    2. Run the install package. It will fail to install but it will extract the drivers to C:\NVIDIA\DisplayDriver\186.81\International\Display
    3. Using the below information to edit the appropriate INF files. Just open them with Notepad. There will be 2 instances of each line you need to replace.
    2700M/3700M
    Edit the NVBL.INF file.
    Search for:
    %NVIDIA_DEV.061E.01% = Section009, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_061E&SUBSYS_0539103C
    %NVIDIA_DEV.063A.01% = Section009, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_063A&SUBSYS_30EC103C
    Replace with:
    %NVIDIA_DEV.061E.01% = Section009, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_061E&SUBSYS_212517AA
    %NVIDIA_DEV.063A.01% = Section009, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_063A&SUBSYS_211917AA
    NVS140M
    Edit the NVDM.INF file.
    Search for:
    %NVIDIA_DEV.0429.01% = Section002, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0429&SUBSYS_01FE1028
    Replace with:
    %NVIDIA_DEV.0429.01% = Section002, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0429&SUBSYS_20D817AA
    5. Save the file and run the Setup.exe in the same directory. It should install fine.

    To simplify things for NVS 140M users:
    Download this file
    Replace the copy included with installer in the 'Display' folder
    Run setup.exe
    This file includes the fix mentioned in the original post, as well as a registry entry for enabling brightness controls, as they didn't work for me with the nVidia drivers.

  • Update NVIDIA drivers for 9600 GT M?

    Hi,
    I have a MBP Unibody late 2008 and am trying to update my nvidia drivers in Bootcamp (Win7) but the nvidia site doesn't refer to the cards as 9600 GT, it refers to them as series and I don't know which one is the corresponding one to my card!
    Can someone please let me know which to select?
    Thanks!
    P.S. I have already tried going into the hardware manager and updating the drivers directly there. They appear to update but then games tell me there is an update required from nvidia site.
    Cheers!

  • Wrong nvidia drivers for Satellite A100 (PSAA9)

    I downloaded nvidia drivers 97.45 but this driver recognizes my GeForce Go 7600 card as NVIDIA Quadro NVS 110M. Is there something wrong with the drivers?
    At nvco.inf I found that there is only support for the latter card. What is happening?

    I wrote here last week but nobody answer me. I have Satellite A100-PSAA9 and driver doesnt work on Windows Vista. It says "This driver compatible with Wista Vista" so I'm using Windows Vista Ultimate also Turkish language. I was thinking maybe problem is Turkish version but I see it is not.
    I called Toshiba Turkey customer support but they said "We didnt test yet Vista driver, please bring your laptop here. Maybe we will report this Toshiba Europe and they will release new driver soon". I dont want to bring it anywhere, I want some solution.
    NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600 doesnt work with Windows Vista Ultimate. Nvidia.com on web sites not release yet any GeForce Go Vista Driver. What does it mean?

  • How to update drivers for Lenovo IdeaCentre C560?

    Hi all,
    I have PC Lenovo IdeaCentre C560 with Windows 8.1.
    There is installed LSC (Lenovo Solution Centre), which has "System" section and inside it is "Lenovo software update" block, where LSC advices me "Go to Lenovo's website to update the Lenovo software on your PC".
    But there are thess problems:
    There are 20 drivers for C560 for Windows 8.1 on Lenovo website.
    Which of them I have to download and install?
    I have tried at my Device Manager to verify for all of my devices to be last update (it was terrible work) and I always got information that my driver is up-to-date.
    Somebody have told me that LSC is not SUITABLE for C560 machine.
    So I have these questions:
    Does anybody have installed LSC on his C560? A does it work fine (so it find and install always new driver) or he only get abstract ionformation Go to Lenovo's website to update the Lenovo software on your PC?
    Are there other possibilities to regularly update drivers then LSC?
    Thanks.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Dragnote,
    maybe it was caused my terrible English, so I will try to explain relevant aspects once again:
    1) I bought my Lenovo IdeaCentre C560 (part number: 57322363) on 22th of May this year from "stone" shop, not through internet. The Web site of this shop is www.mironet.cz, but there is not my PC there in actual supply, because the shop stopped to sell this model. But the parameters etc of this model is on Mironet's Web site here:
    http://www.mironet.cz/lenovo-ideacentre-c560-23quo​t-fhd-intel-core-i54570t-36ghz-8gb-1tb-dvdrw-nvidi​...
    but is is in Czech language.
    2) My Windows are in Czech language, so I will translate it for you into English and therefore some informations/messages can be not fully exact. OK?
    2) The LSC program was installed on my new PC with MS Windows 8.1 64-bit. I was only wanted to USE it! And why not. I got with PC only very slim User's Book, where was nothing much usable. And nothing about updating system and drivers, nothing about backuping etc. So I started to use SLC, because it was preinstalled there.
    3) Problems of detect WHICH driver I have to update and HOW to do it:
    3a) I tried three programs for detecting of my not-to-updated drivers: SLC, Detective and Smart Driver Update with these results: SLC only advice me to go to Lenovo website, Detective and Smart Driver Update gave me list of my not-to-update drivers, but the lists were rather different.
    3a) The  link I provided, http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/forums/replypage/board​-id/ideaCentre/message-id/9220, lists 20 drivers and all of them were released in period between 16 Oct 2013 and 01 Dec 2013, so I have used abbreviation "end of last year", but you are right - mostly of them are from 16 Oct 2013.
    3b) I TRIED to compare their date of released with drivers installed on my PC, but I have two basic problems:
    3b.1) How to identify WHICH driver on my PC corresponds to drivers on Lenovo web site?
    The names are NOT the same. For example: on Lenovo Web site is "Realtek Audio Driver V6695 for Microsoft Windows 8.1 (64-bit) - Desktop", released 17 Nov 2013, version: 6.0.1.6695. Then I found on my Device manager "Realtek High Definition Audio". So my question already is: "Is it the corresponding driver or not?".  But let us say: it is.
    So, now we can continue with next information on my driver : date of release is 15 Nov 2013, version: 6.0.1.7093. So I am not sure if these two drivers (one on Lenovo Web site, second on my PC) are the correct PAIR. There is antagonism between date of release and the version number.
    3b.2) How to update, when I already "decided", that my driver is not-to-updated and therefore I need it to update?
    I launch my Device manager, then I choice some driver, then I click on "to update driver software" and there display two possibilities: find driver on computer, or find driver on Internet. So I click on "Find driver on Internet". Then I wait about 10 seconds and then I ALWAYS get the SAME information: "The driver of this device is up-to-date"
    This "optimistic" message I received for about 30 of my drivers. So there are three possible explanations how to explain it:
    1) LSC, Detective and Smart Driver Update lie to me, when they tell me "You have some not-to-update drivers", because in reality all of my drivers ARE up-to-date.
    2) I really have some not-to-update driver but because I cannot address correct WHICH driver is not to-up-date, I try wrong driver to update. Wrong, because it IS up-to-date.
    3) I identify the correct not up-to-date driver but the choise "find driver on Internet" open finding of this procedure in non-Lenovo Web sites.
    And maybe you are right when you write: "Sometimes, on a new system, Lenovo installs drivers that are "newer" than the drivers listed on their site. Don't worry, keep the newer drivers."
    I apologize very much,but I am not able directly to use the information from you.
    I never updated drivers on my old PC (I had it 12 years!), so I have no experiences what happens when I replace my NEW (up-to-date) driver with some OLD driver installed from Lenovo Web site. I am affraid that my keyboard, mouse, screen etc will stop its function.
    When I bought this Lenovo machine, I to myself have told that I will keep my drivers up-to-date, but I do not how.

  • Can't find drivers for Lenovo G50-30 for Windows 7 32-bit

    Hi,
     I can't find drivers for Windows 7x32 bit for my new Lenovo G50-30. Looks like Lenovo support doesn't have them. Am I wrong?

    hi ziris,
    Can you try these drivers:
    Chipset:
    Intel® Chipset Device Software (INF Update Utility)
    Bluetooth:
    Bluetooth Driver (Intel, Atheros, Realtek, Broadcom)
    Camera:
    (AVC, Bison) Camera Driver
    If the  above drivers doesn't fix the unknown device under Device Manager, can you follow this guide on how to install the drivers via their Hardware ID or you may want to consider installing Windows 7 64bit (this would be best if you'll be utilizing 4GB RAM and above).

  • Pavillion dv6 2144 tx Nvidia drivers for xp

    I recently purchased a Pavillion dv6 2144 tx which came with Windows 7 Home Premium. I replaced the 500 gb drive with another drive and installed XP Pro (after much slipstreaming of SATA drivers) and have been able to find most of the other drivers apart from a Video driver for the Nvidia GEFORCE 230M graphics.
    I have downloaded and installed all sort of drivers from the Nvidia site but thus far have not had any succes in getting them to load. Invariably end with a message saying that I have the wrong OS - even when using the XP drivers....
    Can anyone help?

  • Solaris 10 nvidia drivers for w2100z

    Subject says it all really. Does anyone (from within Sun I guess) have an ETA for the Sol 10 nvidia drivers? I think the W2100z is a great machine, but it's a disappointment that we don't yet have proper drivers for its graphics card.

    Yes, Solaris 10 provides the Nvidia open source drivers from XFree86/Xorg which work with almost all Nvidia graphics cards. Additionally Sun & Nvidia are working on porting Nvidia's closed source accelerated drivers, and it was recently announced that those should be available in June.

    There are many nVidia cards on this Microsoft site, I have only tested the 570M drivers. Feel free to search for your model of driver if you have something else.
    My be old news for people, but if it helps anyone, then great.
    -Paul

    I wasn't aware that Microsoft had this sort of thing available.  Now that I installed Microsoft's 570m driver, my NVIDIA Control Panel actually works.  I previously did an install by manually selecting the file after downloading and extracting the driver from NVIDIA's website.
    On a side note, both the Microsoft site driver and the slightly newer NVIDIA driver give me the same performance index scores (5.8 `graphics` and 6.1 `gaming graphics`) so I would reccomend using the Microsoft one since the Control Panel works with it.

  • New Intel HD4400 drivers for Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro?

    Intel has new drivers for the HD4400 graphics chipset that's supposed to fix a bunch of issues and that's downloadable from Intel's website. Intel's update utility identifies the drivers as compatible with Yoga 2 Pro, but when attempting to install the installer aborts itself and tells the user to acquire the drivers from the "manufacturer", i.e. Lenovo.
    When I check on the Lenovo site, however, there are only drivers dated October 2013.
    In graphics driver age that's ancient.
    So when is Lenovo allowing its Yoga 2 Pro users to update their HD4400 drivers, which in Oct 2013 were rather broken?
    I'm talking about inadequate resolution scaling for the Yoga 2 Pro's high-res screen in some games, for instance, which is a pretty big issue to left unfixed. Meanwhile the Intel Update Manager that came with the Yoga 2 Pro's software bundle cannot, as of May 2014, even connect itself to the net to check for updates for whatever reason.

    Hi everybody!
    yesterday I became my brandnew N500 4233-5FG notebook. Here are the specifications:
    http://www5.pc.ibm.com/europe/products.nsf/$wwwPartNumLookup/_NS75Fxx?open&OpenDocument&epi=w​eb_express
    A friend of mine and I tried to install Win XP, but most of the drivers from the lenovo support HP don´t work. We´ve  read  lots of threads in this forum and all over the internet, but nothing helped!
    Here is what we did till here:
    1.switch from sata to ide
    2.forcing the notebook to boot with the optical drive, because otherwise it showed no reaction on the Win Xp CD 
    3.installing Win XP
    4.installing the drivers from  http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/product​.do?template=/product.do?template=%2Fproductpage%2​...
    5.Win XP "runs" but almost all the drivers are announcing conflicts and as consequence nothing works (sound, LAN, and so on)
    6.then we installed the net framework and tried the drivers described by the user voyager in this thread:
    http://forums.lenovo.com/lnv/board/message?board.i​d=N_Series_Lenovo_3000&thread.id=8077&view=by_date​...
    7.nothing worked
    8.then we installed Service Pack 3 for Win XP an tried again the drivers from the lenovo HP.
    9.there was no improvement, which means there are always the same problems as at the beginning...
    10. as it was 4 o clock in the morning and we had a very long day, we decided to go to sleep... ;.)) 
    Can anybody help me and/or has  anybody experience with exactly the same notebook than i have?? (n500 4233-5FG)
    It would be very helpfull to have some suggestions on how to do it right or perhaps anybody knows something about were to find the right drivers?!?
    Thank in advance and lots of greetings,
