Nvidia drivers (Older version)

Can someone pls make packages of older Nvidia drivers. I have some performance loss problems with new drivers and i could not find nothing older then 177.80 for pacman.
I have no xperence in making packages, and i dont wanna mess up. I need
NVIDIA-Linux-169.12
NVIDIA-Linux-173.14.09
take a look in this topic http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=60746
Thanks in advance!

I don't see how using really old drivers will help your performance, assuming they're even compatible. Here they are if you really want:
nvidia 169.12-4
nvidia 173.14.09-5

  • Should I upgrade my NVIDIA drivers from version 301.42 to 314.07 on my Mid-2010 MacBook Pro (6,2)?

    Hello,
    I was wondering if it would be wise for me to upgrade my MacBook Pro nvidia drivers from version 301.42 to the current version 314.07? Reason, I am asking this is because my MacBook Pro has the nvidia GeForce GT 330m processor with 256mb of video memory and I haven't updated my Windows 7 64bit Home Premium display drivers for about 7 months. At the time I installed the 301.42 driver it was the latest WHQL release, and back then I did the upgrade after installing the Bootcamp 4.0 drivers (from the Bootcamp Assistant which had the 26X.XX driver version), Windows 7 SP1, and all Windows Updates. I used a clean install on those drivers. So far, I haven't had any problems with the 301.42 driver which makes me sometimes double think whether I should upgrade the drivers or not to the 314.07 version. As a result this is why I go to these forums and ask what could be the best course of action in my case?
    Thanks in advance!

    Yes you should by all means update to the latest Nvidia drivers on the windows side of things. I presume you are using bootcamp (since thats really the only place this is relevant).
    But yes! you should

  • Older Mobo/Newer Nvidia Drivers

    Having some weird issues with the newest nvidia ethernet driver (67.89), here is my system specs on this 2+ year old system:
    MSI P6N Plat (BIOS 1.7)
    Q6600@stock speed
    4gig RAM@800mhz
    Windows XP Pro 32bit SP3
    I decided to upgrade all the nforce drivers to the latest, and after the 15.25 installer removed the nforce ethernet, it rebooted and
    continued the install with the newest drivers. Now I usually set the network connection to show when it's connected in the taskbar. When the computer boots into windows with the new driver, this icon doesn't pop up, and when I try to load a web browser, it acts as if
    there is no connection. As soon as I open up the Network Connections or device manager areas, the icon will pop up and I can then connect. I have never had this much of a delay in loading this driver at bootup. If I sit at the desktop and do nothing, the icon/connection never shows up.
    So I went back to the MSI site, and I see they currently list an older version of the nforce drivers for this board still, so I downloaded those, and only chose to install the ethernet driver (67.15). Now I'm back to having my adapter/connection load up right away, but this is with a mismatch of nvidia drivers. I'm just wondering if anyone else has come across this with the new drivers, or doesn't have these issues with the new nvidia driver. It may work better with a fresh OS install, but since I got it working the way it was, I'd rather not do a reinstall just for the new driver. I'm not having any other issues with the system.

    Yes, I was hoping not to break anything, but the risk was low (lower than a BIOS update for sure). Usually when issues do arise, the first thing someone asks is "Do you have the latest drivers?". While nothing was broke, my main hope was for slightly better performance than before, which we are all trying to get out of our rigs.
    I was wondering if anyone here with the same motherboard might have run into this too. I guess I'm more worried I will end up doing a fresh reinstall one day a few years from now and only have access to the latest drivers, and wonder what the issue is. I'll probably be installing a different OS at that time anyways.

  • NVIDIA Drivers version

    Hi all.
    Is there a way to inventory NVIDIA drivers version?
    Thanx.

    Perhaps you can run a report on the HKLM\Software\NVIDIA Corporation\Installer\Version key. See link below:
    How to remotely find NVIDIA graphics drivers version on all Windows XP clients - Super User
    Unless there's a dl file you can go after and report it's version?

  • Reverting to older nvidia drivers

    I recently discovered the simplistic beauty of Archlinux.  I finally found a distro that I'm happy with! 
    With that said, I'm having trouble finding archive repositories, or even archived packages for that matter, that contain versions of packages that I need to revert back to.  In this particular instance, I need to revert my nvidia driver back to 100.14.x because the newer drivers completely hose UT2004. 
    What's the proper way to do this, and can pacman handle it?
    Thanks.

    Er, you should do that *anyway*. (Edit:) Just because binary distros can usually get away with not doing so, doesn't mean it's a good idea to assume that it's not necessary.
    The point is, you should reinstall the nvidia drivers using a pkgbuild.
    So far as I can remember, the nvidia packages (nvidia and nvidia-utils for me, i686) are upgraded coinciding with each kernel upgrade. Though, I have been zonked by a kernel upgrade which preceded an nvidia upgrade that followed a day later- In which case I simply built against the new kernel with a PKGBUILD, as you suggest.
    Basically, whenever I have an nvidia issue that I can't solve, I check the forums and Brebs usually has already posted the answer.

  • Sever issue with Xorg and Nvidia Drivers

    I run a 2.6.20 kernel with Xorg and Nvidia drivers all from arch rep on a Asus NV6200. Everything works fine, except one thing. When I exit X, the monitor shuts down imediatly. It wont start up at all, not even by manual startup. I cant understand what happens. The configuration is correct, is done with the correct settings for my video-card and monitor taken directly from the documentation. I cant use my X server at all since several days ... I checked the logs and there are no EE's. Anyway ... here is the log. Help anyone can help, I cant use X at all.

    No ... the problem is in the kernel that comes precompiled.
    I did this test.
    The first time I installed the kernel I unloaded nvidiafb since I dont like it.
    When I install nvidiafb back something strange happends. Nvidia module fails to load.
    The modprobe sais it cannot find the device nvidia.ko ... but it is there!
    So my best guess is, there is something with the kernel. Any ideas?
    Problem resolved, installed older driver

  • MBPr Nvidia Drivers Crashing in Windows 7 (64-bit) False graphic switch?

    Hey Guys
    This is my first posting here because I simply don't know what to do anymore. Yesterday I was playing Borderlands 2 on my MBPr 2.3ghz version with every thing setting on high (Physx and AO turned off or low) and resolution of 1680x1050 and it runs at 60fps constantly.
    Later on, I checked my desktop and saw a notification that my Nvidia Drivers has stopped working and after that all my 3D applications were slower. Borderlands 2 only ran at 20 frames now with the same settings and other games just didnt run so well anymore.
    I have tried updating my Nvidia drivers and I also tried rolling back to an older driver but the results remain the same. The notification of the drivers crashing has vanished because I wanted to archieve the message but when I wanted to see my stored archieved messages it wasn't there.
    My computer still shows that I do have an Nvidia Geforce 650m and according to other sources the Intel HD Graphics cannot be used in bootcamp but I have a strong feeling it did switch to it.

    UPDATE: I fixed this issue by reseting the SMC! Hope this helps if anyone else had this issue!

  • NVIDIA Drivers on Windows 8.1

    After installing Windows 8.1, I have been unable to use the NVIDIA graphics drivers. My Thinkpad W520 has NVIDIA Optimus with the Intel HD 3000 and the NVIDIA Quadro 1000M. I have tried to install various drivers, including the most recent one from Lenovo (made for Windows 8), the most recent one from the NVIDIA website, and the version in Windows Update. All three of them quit halfway and fail to install the driver. Windows Update gives this error: Code 8007000D.

    Hello.
    Since my initial Windows 8 installation on my W520 (installation guide linked above in this thread), I've once switched back to Windows 7, due to unrelated compatibility issues, f.e. constant WLAN drops, but I've switched completely over to Win8.1.1 now, and what I've always done regarding my GPU setup in Windows is keeping it on Optimus in BIOS, then installing the latest Optimus drivers from Lenovo: (The Win8 drivers work perfectly in 8.1), and then updating the nVidia drivers through their latest driver package. (Currently running 333.11 and I have no reason to upgrade)
    One thing to be mindful of, do not allow Windows Update to upgrade your Intel or nVidia drivers. Stick to the Lenovo drivers completely for the Intel HD and to the nVidia drivers for the Quadro. Through my experience with all my ThinkPads, allowing Windows Update to upgrade hardware drivers has lead to nothing but trouble.
    1. NVIDIA Optimus Display Driver for Windows 8 (64-bit)
    2. QUADRO DESKTOP/QUADRO NOTEBOOK DRIVER RELEASE 340
    (During the nVidia install, I recommend selecting Custom Installation and checking perform a clean install, thus eliminating any conflicts with older drivers/settings)
    Instead of Step 1., you can also allow the ThinkVantage System Update to handle all your initial driver installs before upgrading the display drivers for the Quadro, it's basically the same thing, but the TVSU does everything for you in a single swoop, and is very handy.
    Hope this helps out. Cheers!

  • GTX 560 Ti Twin Frozr II - Nvidia drivers keep crashing?

    Until recently I owned a GF8800 GT 512MB which worked like a charm. Never had a single problem with it. I bought the MSI GTX 560 Ti about a month ago. Ever since then I've had the nvidia drivers crash randomly every few hours. I though it might be a driver bug so I waited for an update, but since then I've updated the drivers twice (2 new stable releases and 1 beta), tried a "clean install" also and every version had the same problem. So it's obviously not a driver issue.
    When I say crash, I mean the screen goes blank, the monitor turns itself off for a few secs, and when it comes back on, I get a tray notification that the "Nvidia driver stopped working/crashed and has recovered" (something like that).
    I'd also like to point out that my PC really is 100% rock solid/stable and I have zero other problems besides this GPU issue.
    Is this a faulty GPU or is there a solution for this annoying problem?
    PC specs:
    CPU: i7 930
    MB: Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R
    RAM: 3x2GB DDR3 1600MHz 8-8-8-24 Corsair
    GPU: GTX 560 Ti Twin Frozr II 1GB DDR5
    HDD: Intel SSD 320 120GB, 2x320GB Seagate (Raid0), 1x500GB Seagate
    PSU: Corsair VX650W
    OS: Win7 x64 Ultimate
    EDIT: In case it helps, this has so far only happened during normal work in windows, never during gaming. So my guess would be a problem with the 2d software/hardware perhaps?
    EDIT2: Kombustor temps are: 35-40 idle, 75-77 on load (no user overclock ofc, only the factory one).

    Quote from: kokotron on 24-November-11, 14:34:48
    I recently bought the Gigabyte GTX 560 Ti SOC and I'm having similar problems too. So I guess Rasha here is correct when saying:
    But it's not as annoying as it sounds, because, at least for me, the driver might restart only one time during a desktop session and then it's stable for the whole time along. I have been playing Skyrim these days with no problems. I do suspect too that firefox - flash might be one of the causes of the problem. I might try the older drivers Rasha speaks off later today.
    There is definitely a problem with the 28x.xx and 290.36 beta drivers.  Please see link below:
    http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=215256
    I am having this 'TDR' problem as well and have been helping nVidia by testing some drivers.  Not really sure how long it will take to fix this but ManuelG (nVidia customer relations) did say the new WHQL driver has been delayed as they are trying to find a fix.

  • T420s Nvidia Drivers

    Howdy,
    I am looking for an older version of Nvidia drivers, specifically: 8.17.12.7658.  The new version (9620) doesn't allow me to select the Nvidia card for certain applications like VLC, WMP, or Media Player Classic.  That being said, I know the Nvidia card automatically runs everything connected to an external monitor however when not using an external monitor, I was able to set my defaults allowing me to multitask without the Intel card being the sole provider.  The old version allowed you to set each specific application, that is why I need to downgrade.  I've searched on Lenovo Support for old drivers but to no avail.  Any help would be appreciated.  Also in the past, Nvidia drivers were more up to date then Lenovo's however when Nvidia added this feature (not being able to select specific programs, or shading the option to), I jumped back to Lenovo's 7658.  My fault for updating to the latest Lenovo driver.

    to add a bit more... if you substitute txt for the exe ( http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/83de44ww.txt ) in your url, you can seemingly get the readme file to go along with the driver pack.

  • Does HP update Nvidia drivers?

    Hi, I have an HP Envy 15, and I noticed that apparently the drivers from Nvidia's website will not work, and I have to download them from HP's website? Does HP update the drivers? It seems that the drivers on HP's website are a much older version than the newest on Nvidia's website. Is there a 3rd party that makes them compatible for HP notebooks? Thanks!

    Welcome to the HP forum, General.
    Commentary
    HP provides extensive testing, retesting, and more testing for drivers and software used in its consumer and commercial computers.  The drivers must work with HP software, hardware, and in a variety of situations.
    The revision process is a long one, and the driver versions that are deemed compatible and tested are those that are available for HP notebook computers and other devices.
    This is not only true of the NVIDIA drivers, but for other drivers as well.
    This is true for all computer manufacturers -- each provides testing for their own systems so a given version of the software will work on that manufacturer's computer.
    Because the drivers and software must be tested and proven to work in a BUNCH of (HP) systems and under a bunch of different situations, the versions available to the customer are might be behind (older) than what is available at the hardware manufacturer's website for the same product line.
    I do not know if HP outsources this testing -- at one time, at least, I am pretty sure it was all done in-house.

  • Cannot update nvidia drivers after installing bootcamp drivers

    Hi everyone,
    I'm sorry to start again a topic that in my view has been treated many times, in many forums but HAS NOT been solved so far...I looked over many forums over the week end and tried a number of "tricks"
    I'm running Windows 7 Pro Sp1 32bits on a MacbookPro 17 - intel core duo with two graphic cards but for better performance running the Nvidia GeForce 9600m GT
    I have installed Windows 7 this week and then Bootcamp 4.0 - thus i have now Bootcamp drivers, ie 261.41
    I have installed Battlefield 3 which asked me to update drivers to at least 285.27
    I downloaded them from Nvidia site 285.27 AND 285.38 (m version - notebook) but when i start the indatllation i get the message "hardware not comptatible"
    So far i have tried 1) to install non-beta older versions but higher than 261.41 (which is by the way only available on bootcamp) - it does not work 2) uninstall nvidia drivers, restarting windows with VGA driver and install newest nvidia drivers - it does not work;
    What i have not tried (as it was not clear on other forum): 1) replace an INF file? - i did not understand what i have to do here 2) update other drivers? mobility? ATA? - i'm not sure what people were talking about here?
    SORRY MY MESSAGE IS LONG BUT I REALLY NEED YOUR HELP - and want to play battlefield 3 that i pre bought by the way... ;-)

    Hi,
    I make this post as I found a way to solve my issue and this could be interesting to other people:
    1. Download the latest nvidia drivers (285.38) on nvidia website: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?
    2. Launch the .exe it will unpack the package in one folder: most likely NVIDIA/DisplayDriver/285.38/WinVista_Win7/International
    3. Your installation will be cancelled through "hardware not compatible" - no worries you still have the unpacked stuff.
    4. Go to http://laptopvideo2go.com/drivers/win7x32/285.38/disclaimer and click on "Click here to download the modified INF file." on the bottom - this will download a file called nvwi.inf - copy it
    5. Go to the unpacked folder and go to the folder named Display.Driver - paste the nvwi.inf - it will replace the actual one
    6. On the root folder (International) click on setup and you will be allowed to install the drivers - note that i have accepted during installation two times that it install drivers not "allowed by windows" (different topic)
    Hope this helps.

    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I understand your concerns based on your past experiences. Unfortunately it is not possible for me to give you a guarantee that a problem would not happen again. If the updates are being offered in support assistance you can try them if they are necessary for you to do what you need. Most updates are entirely optional, and some only apply to certain issues.
    The reality is that a computer is a mix of components often from different manufacturers, and each component is supposed to meet a set specification for that part, but in every device there is a certain error tolerance. It is always possible to have two identical models of computer perform the exact same updates and have one work perfectly and the other have trouble, because of these variations. It is why we make it possible for drivers and BIOS updates to be rolled back to a previous version, and we provide the older versions on the support website. There are far too many possible combinations of software, devices, drivers and operating systems. Some do not always play well together.
    All I can suggest is to  try it out, or if you are really nervous try calling in to phone support, and have someone do it with you. They have tools that will allow them to echo your computer and walk through the process with you, and help if a problem were to occur. Most of the time there will not be a problem, but as the famous sage Murphy would say... "If anything can go wrong it will".  but you do have help available to you if it does.
    If you decide you do need active support then call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region.

  • Satellite P500-12D - Can I use the nVidia drivers?

    The Latest NVIDIA Drivers on the Toshiba update website are 8.15.11.8642 but there are newer versions on the NVIDIA website. I would like ot update the NVIDIA Drivers but I am having difficalties.
    I tried to install version 195.62 (Win7 64bit) for the Geforce 200M Series fron the NVIDIA SITE but the install doesn't complete. I get the message: "The NVIDIA Setup program could not locate any drivers that are compatible with your current hardware. Setup will now exit."
    Does Toshiba only allow their own versions of the drivers? Is there a way to allow the NVIDIA drivers to istall?

    Hi
    Counter question: Why you want to use other display drivers? Are you not satisfied with the Toshiba drivers or can you notice any problems in Windows?
    Theoretically its possible to use the drivers from nVidia directly but dont forget that they are not pretested on your notebook. Your graphic card could be overheating and so you will loose the warranty.
    Satellite P500 is pretty new so I assume Toshiba will update the display driver in next time too. Just have a look on the page from time to time. ;)

  • 790FX-GD70 + unlocked 720BE + Nvidia Drivers = Failed boot?

    Good evening folks! Been quite a while since I last played in these forums (the rig in my sig is 3+ years old, and long gone....     ), but it's great to see that the tradition of a helpful community seems to have continued on in my absence.
    I've didn't have any luck with a search for previous posts on the issue I'm having, but if it's a common issue and I missed a post or faq I'd be happy for a link.   
    So now to the meat......   
    I recently returned from the darkside and purchased my first AMD system since AMD dropped S939. I decided on the 790FX-GD70 paired with a 720be and some OCZ ram. Everything on the board seems to be working fine, but I ran into a snag when I loaded the 1.52 beta bios in order to unlock the 4'th core.
    The core unlocks fine, and XP completes the initial load (scroll bar), but hangs on a black screen just before getting to the logon page. I immediately suspected a problem loading the vid drivers, and removed the nvidia drivers. The stock XP vid drivers allowed me to boot into windows normally which verified my original suspicions (CPU-Z confirms 4 cores). Re-installing the latest drivers causes windows to hang at the same place, and this doesn't happen without ACC unlocking the 4'th core.
    Any ideas?
    My current hardware is:
    790FX-GD70
    720BE
    OCZ 1600 DDR3
    Sparkle GTX275 Plus

    I won't post passwords to MSI FTP, but Tony over at OCZ was good enough to post the the bios updates: http://www.ocztechnologyforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=59825
    Cool!!! Thanks a lot for the link, not only did I get the bios file, but it also put me in the right area to check out Tony's suggested settings on this board for my memory. 
    edit: It might be a week or so by the time I get around to playing with this (I have other committments with the board that can be satisfied by OCing just the 3 cores for now), but I will report back if I have any luck with the 153 bios, or if an older set of drivers makes the difference.
