Hello,

I have bought a used Albatron GeForce 9800 GTX and I cannot find drivers at albatron website.

My research so far:

1) Albatron website http://www.albatron.com.tw/index_en.asp, not only it does not provide any information for the products they have saled in the past but they do not provide any download for drivers, I have never seen such a useless website..

2) I managed to find this webite http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-9800-gtx, it provides info for my card but drivers downloading is not available again.

3) I found this site too, http://www.nvidia.com/object/windows-8-solutions.html it says that my card is supported for win8 but still no drivers for download available

4) I found this webpage too http://www.geforce.com/drivers but I am unable to find my card under "manual driver search"

I am sure I am doing something wrong, so if happens that somebody has the same card and found a place to download drivers for Win8, please provide that information (where to download drivers -for Win8 would be ideal-).

Thank you in advance!

I have finally found a few pages using google that seem to have the drivers for this card

1) http://www.siliconguide.com/drivers/device/261/ this one has got drivers from WinXp To Win8, 169mb

2) http://www.techspot.com/drivers/driver/file/information/16123/ this one has a similar driver 162 Mb

3) http://www.nvidia.com/object/win8-64bit-302.80-preview-driver.html this one too has driver for win8, however this driver is bigger, 204mb

I don't know why they differ in size.

And finally Albatron has an ftp site for drivers ftp://ftp.albatron.com.tw/product/it/vga/Driver/ but it is not easy to find your driver among all those codes like 101_03, in addition drivers here seem a lot outdate, for vista only.
 
should be able to find driver easily from geforce.com. if you cant find the latest one you should search for beta and legacy driver as well. also the latest driver should compatible with your 9800GTX since nvidia still support their card down to 8 k series
