nVidia Forceware Link Archive

[OzzmanFloyd120]

I always find it frustrating when I can't find the drivers I'm looking for, so I'm going to compile a list with links to where you can find all of the nVidia Forceware drivers. Any help is appreciated and if you find this useful please click the "thanks" button. With time the Physx drivers will be added as well!

Note: All modded .INF files are immediately below the forceware associated to them. Also, special thanks goes out to Palgams for modifying these .INF files and uploading them.
To learn how to replace the .inf file read this post.

MORE WILL BE ADDED AS THEY ARE FOUND!

 

[Mussels]

you deserve many thanks for this.

 

[W1zzard]

you can find most forcewares and catalysts in the tpu download section. just go to the appropriate section and click show old files

 

[Mussels]

but w1zz, do they list modded INF's? If not, they should.

 

[Cold Storm]

I do thank ya Ozz man for that... My problem is that for some reason I don't quite remember that TPU has a download part... But, I do thank ya man. and W1z for having that feature for us.

 

[W1zzard]

only official drivers on tpu .. at least for now

 

[Cold Storm]

only official drivers on tpu .. at least for now

I wouldn't think that TPU had any others. Because I don't think you want to be in charge if someone downloads a Modded .inf file and it does something to their computer. Just because of a typo.
But, you say "at least for now" which makes me hope for others!

 

[{JNT}Raptor]

This threads got sticky written all over It.

 

[hat]

Agreed. It would be a shame to see this thread sink through the pages of forum history.

 

[OzzmanFloyd120]

Hmm, well you guys kinda have me in a spot. Should I continue this, or should I just leave it up to W1zz?

 

[Cold Storm]

Hmm, well you guys kinda have me in a spot. Should I continue this, or should I just leave it up to W1zz?

I think you should continue to do this. AT lease continue with the ones that we don't have here at TPU. It does help out us on where to look for the driver that we just had but deleted... Or even the one that was the better of the bunch for that person.
I just believe that W1zzard was saying that TPU all ready has the download section for Nvidia. But, I say go on. It's not hurting anyone.. That I can see at lease

 

[pagalms]

This deserves a thanks and a link in my sig

 

[OzzmanFloyd120]

Palgams, are there any infs that I'm missing you know of?

 

[pagalms]

You can add *.inf links to 177.79 and 177.83. These two came without sub-8 support, so these inf's add support to 6. and 7. series. 177.89 & up has full 6 and up support.

 

[Cold Storm]

Mmm drivers... Pagalms.. any thoughts on the Big Bang for drivers?

 

[pagalms]

Do you mean the best ones? If yes, then i have no idea - haven't ran any benches with them.

 

[Cold Storm]

oops named it wrong... lol... The "Big Bang" for Nvidia... What do you think it will help with Nvidia Drivers?

 

[pagalms]

IMO the biggest improvement will be for NV's top cards (GT200 & so) because Nvidia is focused on them most. Name "Big Bang" makes me think that Nvidia is hiding something
But good things comes to those who waits
<16 days left.

 

[Cold Storm]

Our good old Kursh started a Big Bang thread. here. Pagalms can you throw in the reason for it being 16 more days?
Thanks man

 

[pagalms]

Yep, i saw that thread. 16 or less days because they will be out this month, september has 30 days, today is 14th (GMT +2), so 30 -14 = 16

 

[Cold Storm]

.... lol... Wow I feel bad... real bad...

 

[pagalms]

.... lol... Wow I feel bad... real bad...

What happened?

 

[Cold Storm]

What happened?

I couldn't believe I couldn't add... it's still the 13th here so I thought of the 29th... but then you said.. and I banged... It was a blonde moment... And I am a blonde! lmao

 

[OzzmanFloyd120]

added 174.53, 174.74, 175.16, and 175.19.

Is there enough demand for Linux drivers as well or should I just keep it windows based?

 

[Cold Storm]

I think you should do everything in the world! I have linux on a thumb drive... I think this would help out everyone.. Anything driver wise would be greatful...
