Hello everybody!
I had a look this week at nVidia's website for graphics cards drivers for my beloved W2k. They state that the latest driver for W2k is v93.71 which only fits GeForce 7 series, or a Gf7950gx2 as a maximum (which is included in the driver's nv4_disp.inf). This is a DirectX9.0c card, which fits W2k not too badly, but a more recent one would be nice.
I should like to underline that Xp drivers don't necessarily install on W2k. It's not simply a matter of installer's good will: Xp's dll have some entry points that W2k lacks. Many links to "W2k-Xp drivers" just ignore this point.
So has someone reliable first-hand information?
Which driver from what website was used successfully on W2k for a Gf7950 or better?
Do graphics cards manufacturers supply W2k drivers for more recent nVidia chips?
Do non-nVidia drivers improve that point?
dX10 won't fit on W2k, but can I find hardware and drivers for OpenGL 3?
Thanks a lot, and a happy new year!
