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.

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:

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!

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.

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.

first of all, I think apple will never really "support" windows 64bit...
anyway
try -> http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/
my vista 32bit works with the drivers from this page.
but u need to read the "Quickstart Guide" before you try installing the drivers
cheers

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.

Hi ! I have a big problem with my MacBook Pro Mid 2010 ! It may be broken or what seems to be the problem with the video drivers ? I have a built in internal Graphic 288 of RAM and a NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M of 512 of RAM !

On Mountain Lion :
It happens to turn of my monitor in different situations. Sometimes i believe i have my graphic video broken ! In my town i don't have Apple doctors so i dont risk to go to a service non authorized from apple !
For example there was a day when it turns off when a simply pinch with thumb and 3 fingers for launchbad ...and the opperating sistem it should be restart from power button ! That was when i had Mountain lion 10.7.5 update
Other situation was with photoshop cs6, cs5, cs4 30 days trial versions ...i couldn't buy any versions so i decided to test a earlier versions that can match with my sistem requirements. In all of this three situations my display had turned off after opening a image or photo or 3d graphics in photoshop...anyway sadness.
Other situation : One day i was simply relaxing surfing facebook and ...than i've just simply open an advertising link ...and on that page i was waiting to load a video that used another player than flash player of youtube. Even two seconds didn't stayed open and trust me it turned off my display once again !
After Mountain Lion :
I told my story to to someone who holds an MacBook Pro i5 etc. and he told me to test the new mavericks maybe it's something broken in my operating system.... and believe me after 2 days of happiness with OS X MAVERICKS , last night my computer restarted because of a problem, and 2 hours ago again....why ? i don't know ! Maybe Video RAM or maybe Memory RAM or Maybe simple conflicts between Trial Photoshop and OS X or maybe my macbook it's 2 old...or i don't know ....for how much i used this mac it should run as an mustang !    MacBook Pro i7 Mid 2010 HDD 500 , 4 GB of DDR 3 , Intel built in Graphic 288 and an NVIDIA GE FORCE 512 , 15 inch display monitor , 283 real cicle counts ( my mac was used as an iphone while charging and using battery) ...i don't know what to do ! Please help !
The Operating System shoes me everytime this error !

Mid-2010 15" MacBook Pros - the bad NVIDIA GPU
If you're having frequent kernel panics with your 15" mid-2010, or intermittent screen problems, the problem is, more than likely, the faulty NVIDIA GPU found in a number of those machines.
Here's just a sample of a kernel panic log that points to the faulty NVIDIA card:
Kernel Extensions in backtrace (with dependencies):
         com.apple.GeForce(6.4.0)@0x82ac4000->0x82b7afff

            dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOGraphicsFamily(2.2.1)@0x8301b000
Here's the "official" Apple take on the issue - but the very real kernel panics need not be preceded by 'Intermittent black screen or loss of video'... in fact, you might not experience any video problems at all. Although video problems can certainly be a portent of things to come…
So what can you do? Print out a copy of your kernel panic and a copy of the Knowledge Base article and take them, along with your machine, to your local Apple Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider. The unfortunate thing is that many people have passed the “three years from date of purchase” now and Apple is not honoring the free logic board replacement for many users. Some dealers seem to be making some exceptions for those past the three year mark, but don’t count on it…
Good luck,

Satellite A100-599 - Unable to install driver for nVidia GeForce Go 7600

Greetings to all!
Trying to install driver for Nvidia GeForce Go 7600 after complete system reinstall, but without any success. Only safe mode is available after this driver installation, tried with Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7 and with different drivers from Nvidia and Toshiba sites - same result all the time :(
Would be glad to realize how to solve this... Thanks a lot.

I found this driver but it says "no suitable driver found, installation wizard stops its work".
Any ideas what could it mean?

Need driver for Nvidia Geforce Go 6150 for Windows 7

Hi, can anyone please tell me where I can download the driver for Nvidia Geforce Go 6150 for Windows 7. I have tried the drivers for Windows Vista but it does not work. Thanks in advance.

I followed this tutorial after installing Win7 on a friend's HP Pavilion tx1332LA (the tutorial is in Spanish):
http://www.taringa.net/posts/ebooks-tutoriales/2570715/NVIDIA-nForce-Chipset-Driver-(windows-7-_-vista).html
And since the coprocessor was no longer listed as an unknown device (or something similar), I assumed everything worked correctly afterwards... is that alright or do I have to check in some other way?
Well, here is a part of what the tutorial says (what was enough for me):
-Should work for 32-bits and 64-bits versions (I installed it on Windows 7 x64).
-First of all, we see that in the Device Administrator, there is an unknown device, a coprocessor. That's because Windows 7 can't find its driver.
-Download and install the following:
NVIDIA nForce Chipset Driver
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp39501-40000/sp39535.exe
and see if the coprocessor is recognized.
-If not, go to the Device Administrator and find the unrecognized coprocessor.
-Right-click on it and select Update driver...
-Select browse my computer -> let me pick -> have disk (this is what the tutorial says, it wasn't exactly the same for me, but I eventually got to pick a folder on my hard drive)
-Browse and select the following (assuming C represents the drive where everything from the file above got unpacked):
C:\swsetup\SP39535\WinVista32\SMU\smuc.inf (for 32-bits version)
C:\swsetup\SP39535\WinVista64\SMU\smuc64.inf (for 64-bits version)
Note: That is what the tutorial says, but I could only select the SMU folder and not a specific file. After selecting the SMU folder, a driver was automatically listed, I selected it and it got installed.
-Now, the coprocessor should be recognized (check the Device Manager).
Hope it helps!

Updating Drivers for video card?

I have a G5 Quad with an Nvidia Geforce 7800 GT video card (installed by Apple at the time of purchase). I wanted to see if there were any new/updated drivers for my card, but when I go to Nvidia's website the card is not listed, nor are any Mac drivers that I can see. I checked Apple's site, CNET Downloads, and Google, but I'm coming up with nothing.
How are the drivers for video cards updated? Are the drivers included in various OS updates? Am I just looking in the wrong places?
Thanks.

Thanks, maclover. And thanks for the warm welcome
My problem is specific to a piece of software... I'm using Lightwave, and recently added FPrime to Lightwave's functionality. FPrime is a third party plugin, and is widely used in the Lightwave community.
The problem is that if I open FPrime before OpenGL renders the objects in a scene on screen FPrime crashes (hard)... it's like a kernel panic and my only option is to shut down and reboot. However, if I let OpenGL render the objects first then FPrime opens fine.
I'm an active member of the Lightwave community, and I've been in contact with the maker of FPrime regarding this issue. My question about drivers stems from the fact that usually if something like this occurs then it may be related to the need to update card drivers.
Thanks agian.

NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M (256 mb) vs NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT (512 mb)

Hi, new here, but ive been wondering for quite a while now which one, in terms of processing power (playing games, video editing, etc) would be better?
NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M (256 mb) or the NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT (512 mb)
the 8600M being on the previous system, and the 330M on the new one, if I were to get the new one with 256 video memory, would it still be better than the 8600M with 512mb vram that I currently have?
Thanks.

Hi so does this mean that the 330, even at 256mb will be faster right? Thanks.

Why can't I use my mid 2010 macbook pro with 8GB memoir and NVIDIA GEForce GT 330M 256MB to run 3D in photoshop CC?

Why can't I use my mid 2010 macbook pro with 8GB memoir and NVIDIA GEForce GT 330M 256MB to run 3D in photoshop CC?

3-D is very memory intensive.
System requirements | Photoshop
Mac OS
Multicore Intel processor with 64-bit support
Mac OS X v10.7, v10.8, or v10.9
2 GB of RAM (8 GB recommended)
3.2 GB of available hard-disk space for installation; additional free space required during installation (cannot install on a volume that uses a case-sensitive file system or on removable flash storage devices)
1024x768 display (1280x800 recommended) with 16-bit color and 512 MB of VRAM (1 GB recommended)**
OpenGL 2.0–capable system
Internet connection and registration are necessary for required software activation, membership validation, and access to online services.*
** 3D features are disabled and some Mercury Graphics Engine enhanced features may not work with less than 512 MB VRAM. Read the Help article.
Bottom line, you don't have enough VRAM
