Updated nVidia GeForce FX5200 U drivers

Does anyone knows where can I find any updated drivers for my iMac G5 64Mb nVidia FX5200 U video card? I checked the nVidia website, and they don't have drivers for Mac.
Specifically, the current Mac drivers don't support the OpenGL 2.0 Extensions completely (such as texture compression).
I've later learned that these updated drivers are released with every OS X update, when is the next update (10.4.3) due?
Does anybody know how can I request such drivers to Apple?
Thanks a lot and I appreciate all your answers!

I recently upgraded to Yosemite on my mid 2009 MBP and now I have maximum resolution of 1080p - so i suspect its the nvidia Graphics card that needs essential updates. Also after extensive search Im starting to get the feeling Apple have cut us off ... no surprises there.

IMac Nvidia GeForce 8800 GS Drivers

I am running XP Professional via Boot Camp. I run XP so I can play America's Army since it is a Windows only based game. The problem I am having is when I expand Americas Army full screen it completely locks up my iMac and I have to hold down the power button to reset it.
I have been told by several people that the problem is from the Nvidia GeForce 8800 GS drivers. I tried to up date the graphics drivers from Apple's and Nvidia's website with the latest driver. When I try to install the graphics driver from the setup file, it gives me the following error.
"The NVIDIA Setup program could not locate any drivers that are compatible with your current hardware. Setup will now exit."
Here is the location where I downloaded the driver from.

Hey guys,
I encountered problems renaming the nv4 disp file that allen sent me (drivers still would not install)...so instead of replacing the original nv4 disp.inf file in windows, I opened the nv4 disp file allen sent me, copied the text, and pasted it in the original nv4 disp file in the NVIDIA folder after deleting the text of the original file and saved it...after that, the new drivers installed without a hitch...have yet to test whether or not the infinite loop is gone or not in Age of Empires 3 though...will keep u updated...thx for the file allen!

NVIDIA GeForce FX5200 (sp) on Swatooth or Gigabit

I recently was able to add a Radeon 9800 Mac Edition to my 1.6 GHz G5 and would like to add the stock video card (nVidia GeForce FX5200) to my friend's Sawtooth machine... is this card compatible?

Hi-
It should be fine in the Sawtooth.

A Gigabit Ethernet will need the #3 and #11 pins on the card to be taped.

Need help.

Hello saurabh20,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand the computer is experiencing NVIDIA graphics issues. I'll see what I can to help. Right now, I'm just going to suggest an uninstall and reinstall of the driver:
1. Go into Device Manager, then Display adapters.
2. Right-click on the NVIDIA driver, and select "Uninstall".
3. Do not restart the computer. Instead, download and install one of the following drivers, based on which OS you have:
Windows 8.1: NVIDIA Graphics Driver
Windows 7: NVIDIA Graphics Driver
Please let me know what happens. Thanks!

Nvidia GeForce FX Go5200 drivers not working with my New HD display HELP

Are there any updates for the nvidia GeForce FX Go5200 or generic drivers so i can use my brand new, beautiful, Samsung 226bw HD Lcd??
please help me.. i've searched the internet high and low for support, even called apple care, and i can't find help anywhere..
please help!!
does anyone know how to modify drivers? many pc users have been able to do it, but i don't know anything about code so please help me
I love my powerbook and don't want to replace it, but this new display may make me do that, i need the 22"'s for designing work and don't want to go back to my 17" display.

I'm having the same exact problem, only I've got the Samsung 225BW. I've spent all day on the phone with Samsung tech support to no avail, and could not reach anyone at Nvidia. Tried all the usual steps to adjust the resolution, but it will NOT reset, neither manually nor automatically, to the "optimum mode" of 1680x1050.
Have you had any luck yet? I've only had my display for a few days, and it will work on 1600x1024 and below, nothing higher.
There is no option in the menu for the 1680x1050! Making me crazy, because somehow it auto-set to the 1680x1050 when I first plugged it into my Powerbook G4, but now will not revert back to that.
Also, I searched for the driver downloads, and the only ones I found were for Windows.

NVIDIA GeForce 2 Ultra drivers for Solaris 8

I am having trouble making the GeForce 2 Ultra drivers from NVIDIA. I have the latest gcc and make from GNU, but I keep getting errors. Has anyone been able to successfully load them and get them to work with the GeForece? Thanks in advance.

unixforall,
I had the same problem under linux. I can only tell you what I did for Linux as I haven't had a chance to download Solaris yet. Get the following file:
ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/4.0.2/Install
If you follow this step by step (it is very self explanatory) then you should end up with a few binaries that are compatible with the GeForce. In particular the XFree86 X server module. I don't know if there are any other catches with Solaris but with Linux (RH7) this worked like a charm (except I overwrote my previous config files and had to reinvent the wheel - be careful backup all config files if you are going to overwrite them). Anyway I hope this is of some use.

How to update nvidia GeForce Go 7600 graphics card ?

The game Portal 2 is demanding an update of the graphics card driver - current version 98.04 and I can locate & download the Nvidia update version 179 - but it doesn't load, saying drivers are missing. No intermediate versions seem to be available so how do I take this issue forward?
The_Cyclist

You cannot upgrade the GPU except by buying a newer model with a better GPU. Normally, with shared RAM the GPU will have a maximum of 384 MBs of VRAM with 4 GBs of installed RAM. That will increase by about 128 MBs per 2 GBs of additional installed RAM.

it is ok to update them.
make sure you do a clean install with the nvidia driver.
when you say clean install, i uninstall the old then install the new one right? or a repeat install of my OS?

Nvidia GeForce4 Titanium vs. nVidia GeForce FX 5200

I purchased a new dual G5 with an nVidia GeForce FX5200 with 64MB of VRAM. I had in my old G4 a Nvidia GeForce4 Titanium card with 128MB of VRAM. First, can I install the old Titanium card in my G5? If so, is it a better card than the card that the G5 has now? Any suggestions will be deeply appreciated.

The card in the G5 is compatible with the new Tiger Core Image, the one in your G4 is not.

How do I update Nvidia 9400M GeForce drivers on MacBook late 2009?

How do I update Nvidia 9400M GeForce drivers on MacBook late 2009?
I've got a huge fps drop problem on my mac, and i've called apple support, they told me to update Nvidia Graphics Card or something. How do i do this?

Nope, I'll do that, but since I've seen you here before, can I ask you something regarding my HD?
I've been transferring about 1.6 GB from my USB stick, and when it is going on with the transfer, my computer just freezes, i can move the mouse but not click anywhere. then after some time i can click again, but then it freezes again. And it takes like 10 times longer to transfer.
And also, would it work to transfer a windows xp.iso to my usb stick, and then install windows using boot camp?
And also, would it work if I purchase 4GB or 2GB + 4GB (6GB) RAM to my Macbook unibody late 2009?
And also, would it work if i purchased RAM memory originally from a macbook Pro?

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:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-hardware/display-driver-stopped-respondin...
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!

Gaming: driver update for NVIDIA GeForce - Sat P20

i am not able to run an driver update for my NVIDIA GeForce FX Go5600 on Satellite p20-521. can someone help me out please.

Hi Cuong
I assume you use a wrong graphic driver or a wrong graphic card driver update procedure.
Toshiba recommend to use the own graphic drivers. The all drivers for European Toshiba notebooks you will find on this website:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp
After successfully downloading please unpack the driver. There you should find a setup.exe. Please install it.
Well, if this procedure doesnt work so please go to device manager and select the graphic card and right click. Then you can select the option update driver. The driver source is the driver download place.
