Nvidia Driver Update?

What is the best source to continue to update my Nvidia card? I just downloaded the current driver from Nvidia last week 305.93. Lenovo & Windows both have a driver updates listed for my T420. What is the best choice to use?
ChiefR

Hi ChiefR,
Please use Lenovo ones as Windows Update and Nvidia will only list generic drivers, as this might not compatable with other preload programs and generic drivers might not support specific functions designed for this machine.

NVidia driver update seems to help stuttering playback...

nVidia released a driver update on 8 Jan 09, ver 181.20
http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_181.20_whql.html
My system was usually very good, as far as playback anyway, but this driver seems to have gotten rid of the remaining stuttering.
For me, it was totally random. Same everything would be fine one day, and then stuttering the next, until I had played the timeline once or twice and then it would settle down. Now under 181.20, it is playing well first time, every time.
There are still some wonky things with Photoshop not recognizing the Open GL v.2.1.2 even though After Effects uses it fully, but overall, it seems like an improvement.
Thought folks would like to know about it...
HTH,

Interesting thread. I just downloaded the driver and installed it this evening.
It certainly improved things in some areas, although I cannot say that it made Premiere useable.
It did stop the 10-second GUI freeze-ups.
Video now plays with a very stuttery quality, until it hits an unrendered title overlay--then it smooths out and seems to play at full frame rate.
There are serious problems with the audio, however. Often there is no audio, or, shortly after playback begins, I get several loud bursts of white noise alternating at random in left/right channels. If I let it continue to play, I get a BSOD which states that a critical system process has stopped responding and Windows is being shut down to protect the system.
With this driver, Premiere CS4 is one small step closer to being usable, but still has a long way to go.
No problems noted in PhotoShop, but AfterEffects still crashes when OpenGL is enabled in AE. That's three nVidia driver updates I've done on this quad-core system, and all three of them are no good for OpenGL in AE. :(

T61 (7664-1bg) nVidia driver update?

Hello.
The driver for my nVidia Quadro NVS140M is a bit old now, september 2009 I think, and I'd like a driver update. Concidering how often nVidia releases driver updates, that should in theory not be a problem.
However, I find that the drivers page for my aforementioned laptop only has the old driver. Say, isn't there an updated driver? 1,5 year old driver is a bit too old for me.

Even though it's not an optimal gaming computer, I've been known to play a game or two on it. And recently, some of the games I play suggest a driver update to enable some of the newer features.
I am aware that newer graphics card drivers usually work for just the new cards, but I do like my hardware drivers up to date. Downloading a driver directly from nVidia did not work, and it told me to get the driver from the computer manufacturer. This is very typical with pre-built computers and notebooks, and it kind of annoys me.
Aw well, if there isn't an update availible, I guess I'll just have to live with it

Poor resolution of dektop after nvidia driver update

Hi,
I have a HP Pavilion Media center 8020n PC connected to HP w1907 monitor with optimum resolution of 1440X900 at 60 hz.
The display adapter is Nvidia GE force 7350 LE. It has Windows vista home premium with Intel Core 2 processor.
I recently updated the video driver from nvidia website version 266.58. Right after the download at the first bootup there was a big difference in the screen resolution. The picture is not crisp and sharp like it was before the update.
I have tried to uninstall the new driver, unnstall the old driver and restart in safe mode with the antivirus off but it still gives the same poor resolution with streched out picture.
Any suggestions?

Hi,
Look here for a monitor driver update. Install the driver and reboot. Then check the monitor type in the Device Manager. Now does it indicate the HP 1907 monitor?

Nvidia driver updates to OS X - How often?

How often are GPU driver updates to OS X released by Apple? I am operating under the assumption that minimally each new major release of OS X would include the latest GPU drivers available from Nvidia or AMD as the case may be. So, in going from Mavericks to Yosemite I would expect a newer Nvidia driver than whatever was in Mavericks. Am I correct about that?
I note we just got a driver bug fix via software update for 10.10.3. Considering the gravity of the bug it fixes, I am thinking the bug was introduced in a relatively recent driver update.
Information about this stuff is not particularly easy to find despite time spent with Google and even in talking with Nvidia second tier support. Their claim is that they do send all driver updates to Apple as they release them but they also reminded me that Apple's process of approval and the time it takes comes into play which they could not comment on beyond that.

But for what sections of OS-X devices will this update be for free?
And when installed, will this also update the installation hard disk?
Thank you,
Any Mac that can run Mavericks can run Yosemite. If you install it your hard drive and the recovery drive will be updated.
Wait for it to come out, backup your Mac and try for yourself.

NVIDIA Tesla C2075 Disappeared after nvidia driver update

Hi,
I have 2 NVIDIA cards, the primary is NVIDIA GTS 450 and the secondary is Tesla C2075.
After upgrading
linux 3.6.9 => linux 3.7.9-2
nvidia 310 => nvidia 313.18-3
nvidia-utils 310 => nvidia-utils 313.18-1
opencl-nvidia 310 => opencl-nvidia 313.18-1
The cudaGetDeviceCount function in CUDA didn't recognize Tesla C2075,
and cudaGetDeviceProperties couldn't find it as well.
Strangely enough, Tesla C2075 still shows up in nvidia-smi and nvidia-settings,
and some programs using opencl-nvidia interface could recognize Tesla C2075 as well,
the problem is only with CUDA programs....
I tried reinstalling cuda5 and recompiling the binaries,
switching the Tesla C2075 to the primary video card,
but they didn't make any difference.
Any idea on how this could happen?
Now I just down-graded nvidia driver and Tesla C2075 shows up in CUDA programs again....
Thanks.

Strange enough, the issue just disappeared with the latest update,

Nvidia Driver Update for MSi Gt 683

Hello Fellows;
I own a MSi GT683-244R notebook.
I received a Beta key for testing the game Battlefield 3 but when I try to start the game they said that the Nvidia Driver is a old version and I need the latest one. I went to Nvidia web page to try to update my driver and I saw that my notebook from MSI is not supported, I need to download from MSI Website. On MSI driver page (http://www.msi.com/product/nb/GT683.html#/?div=Driver&os=Win7%2064) the driver version is 268.12 and on Nvidia driver page (http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx?lang=en-us) the lastest certified is 280.26.
So, my question is... when MSI will launch the latest driver for our notebook???
GT is a gaming notebook series, so we need the latest driver, please MSI, update it for us.
Best Regards;
FaHeinen

Product Support
This driver supports the following NVIDIA notebook GPUs (please refer to the Products Supported tab for exceptions):
ION notebook GPUs.
GeForce 8M, 9M, 100M, 200M, 300M, 400M, and 500M-series notebook GPUs.
Quadro 5010M, 5000M, 4000M 3000M, 2000M and 1000M notebook GPUs.
Quadro NVS-series notebook GPUs (only those that support DirectX 10 or higher).
Quadro FX-series notebook GPUs (only those that support DirectX 10 or higher).
NVS-series notebook GPUs (only those that support DirectX 10 or higher).
And by the way I use them on my GT680 without a problem.
You cannot install any video drivers outside of the live update. Nvidia released a beta driver specifically for the Battlefield 3 beta that has been released. because its not available through the live update, you cannot install it on the MSI notebooks.

[SOLVED]Fusion-icon won't start after Nvidia driver update

Hi,
Today I got an update from Arch including a new kernel and an update of my Nvidia drivers. I use GNOME with Compiz Fusion, that is started by Fusion-Icon. Now Fusion-Icon gives the following errors:

I searched in the repos, but I coulnd't find a package called "glxinfo".
Could someone help?

Streaming video display in v.5 and v.6 is monochrome and distored while Ffox help indicates need to update Nvidia driver that is NOT supported by HP; so is there a Ffox fix or do I play Russian roulette with unapproved Nvidia driver updates?

For reference, this is HP PC laptop with AMD Turion64 running Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit with 2G memory and Nvidia Go 6500 series chip. Streaming videos from sites like Comedy Network work in basic format (showing color etc.) but when made full screen are monochrome and distorted (i.e. fill 2/3 page). Current driver number from Nvidia is in the 1.8x range while Ffox and Nvidia show a newer driver that is in the 2.x range but Nvidia warns that drivers should be approved by notebook manufacturer. Since Ffox 4 and previous worked fine, why the problem with Ffox 5 and 6?

I doubt that your notebook crashed because of the graphic card driver
Possibly there is another reason why the notebook crashes.
First of all you should check if new OS installation would help you on many cases the OS hangs or does not response due to damage registry entries or system files
If the notebook will still crash after new OS installation then you should check if it could be related to a higher temperature inside the notebook
Higher temperature could be one of the main reasons for such problems.
Usually you could avoid a higher temperature by cleaning the cooling fans and grilles You could use a compressed air spray in order to remove the dust and debris
Otherwise the notebook should be checked by an ASP technician I mean the G50 is one of the newest notebooks series and the warranty should be still valid so everything should be done for free!!

Nvidia driver updates

Does anyone know how to check for updates for the NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT for the 2006 24' Imac, Intel?
The Nvidia website seems to be heavily biased for PCs.

Correction: I now see there are some available from NVIDEA here. In general, they come bundled with the OS from Apple.

Lenovo G700 Nvidia Driver Update Issue

I have a new G700 which has outdated graphics drivers on it. I've tried both installing the drivers manually from Nvidia, and by also using the GeForce Experience software to install the drivers, and both give me an error that states "This graphics could not find supported graphics hardware." What do I need to do to install the current drivers for this notebook?

I tried to change the BIOS settings, however the only graphics options I'm presented with are the choice between "Optimus" or "UMA-Only." From what I understand, the latter sets it so that only the integrated (Intel HD) graphics are used and the Optimus utilizes switching techology. I would be fine with the switching if I could actually find a way to see that it works, as I've yet to see it switch over to the nvidia card.
The card was installed by Lenovo and came installed with the new notebook purchase.

MOVED: Installed new NVIDIA driver update, now brightness controls won't work.

Hello, all, my ipod touch is now working. Here's what happened...I called the tech support line and started going through the automated stuff. It started me with the reset which I had done numerous time. It then mentioned trying a different USB port. I figured it was a waste of time, but then I decided what the heck, so I tried the other usb port on the front of my pc. When I did this, it recognized the ipod in ituned and gave me a mssg that it needed to be restored. I clicked on the restore link, and minutes later it gave me an error message on the restore, and the ipod showed the apple on the sreen instead of the itunes logo with the usb cord. I then tried it back in the original usb port, and received the same windows prompt to try to install drivers that I had been getting all along. I put it back in the second USB port, and got the restore message again with it being recognized in itunes. This time it successfully completed the restore. I know it sounds simple, but if you have not tried a different USB port, be sure you do. Maybe the download jacked up my USB port? Anyway, I'm working again with the 2.2.1 download. Good luck to all!!

GP60: After installing new NVIDIA driver, no brightness controls work now.

Hey guys! I have a small problem I'm hoping someone might know how to fix. I just installed a new NVIDIA driver update (I'm now on build ) and now my brightness controls won't work. My computer is stuck in a very bright setting, and I don't know how to fix it. I've restarted the computer, and I've put it into hibernation and restarted it.
Before i did the hibernation, my computer was stuck in GPU mode (it would only use the GPU, even if all I was doing was using PowerPoint). The hibernation/restart fixed that, but not my brightness. Not sure if the problems are related, but throwing that in there too just in case.
I also don't know if this is related as well, but my NVIDIA control panel will not work either; it says that I don't have a display that uses it or something like that. Again, probably TMI, but better safe than sorry!
I'd appreciate any advice that I could get! Thanks!
Specs:
MSI GP60
intel i5-4200
NVIDIA GeForce GT 740M/2 GB DDR3 (my problem child today).
Update: Now my computer is back in GPU-only mode and nothing is helping it swap out of it. I'm thinking the two are related now...

Have you installed the Intel graphic driver?
The hot key for brightness is controlled by EC & Intel graphic driver.
Please refer to the product webpage to download the latest Intel graphic driver:
http://www.msi.com/search/gp60/product/1
Pick your model and select Download and your OS type to find the drivers.

Driver update for Win 7 USB issue on nVidia chipset systems now available

This patch is needed for the TouchSmart 600 AIO Desktop series if you haven't installed it.
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Lockups-Freezes-Hangs/Driver-update-for-Win7-USB-issue-on-nVidia-chipse...

The update is not part of the desktop Win7 update disc from MS or HP - Microsoft has not yet integrated it into Win7, and it is not yet available on Windows Update (it is likely to hit there sometime in January). It was available too late to get it out on HP Update before the holiday break. I don't believe there have been any rolls to the Win7 upgrade disks. I do recommend (while still on Vista) running HP Update and installing all applicable updates - PRIOR to doing the Win7 upgrade. Also - I'd double check the drivers page for your system for any Vista updates as well, best to do any driver/BIOS/Video BIOS updates prior to the Win7 upgrade process. I know that some of them were created before Windows 7 was out - and may not want to install if it sees the newer OS.
As to the fix - this could manifest itself in many ways - but essentially - this resolves system flakyness with USB devices attached . Some internal devices (card readers, touchscreens, some Wireless LAN interfaces) connect via USB - so they could be affected, even if you haven't hooked up anything to your system externally.
Not sure just what problems you were experiencing, so can't say this was the cause (and will be the fix) - but if it applies to your system - I'd definitely give it a shot. I checked a couple of systems that had this update - I see it now on the software drivers and update page for them, so it looks like it rolled out OK.
Happy Holidays...
