nForce Drivers for Vista

Jimmy 2004 · Feb 7, 2007

NVIDIA has released its chipset drivers for both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows Vista. The drivers are for all nForce 4, 5 and 6 based motherboards, with WHQL certification. There aren't any chipset drivers for nForce 1, 2 or 3 boards, and with only alpha versions of the audio and networking driver for the nForce 3 it seems unlikely that NVIDIA will be releasing any Vista drivers for these chipsets.

You can download the drivers here.

SP1? Service pack one?

You are using Windows Vista right? If you are, the problem is probably just that you don't have a sound card by NVIDIA, it's probably onboard sound like Realtek, so the nForce drivers won't work for that.

techPowerUp! isn't a site for encouraging the use of illegal software, so no.

Good news for NForce based mobos users (@ least NForce 4/5 series afaik)...

(Folks, like myself included are "in luck" I guess, good luck!)

So if they or I choose to use VISTA as our Operating System, we have "full-bore" use of our mobos capabilities!

* Between THIS, & NVidia hopefully having their GeForce series drivers ready in the latest 100.64 release? All SHOULD be ok @ this point!

P.S.=> Thanks for the link/URL Jim... apk
