forceware 180 drivers??

[mikee]

I can't seem to find an answer to this anywhere. Is there going to be a 180 release or any future forceware release for the 8600gts? Nvidia only lists the 8800gt and up. I even tried downloading and installing them and it just says could not find suitable hardware for this driver or something like that.

I occasionally look for updates for my 8600GTS but it don't look like there's going to be any.

So I guess were stuck with V178.24.

I'll wait untill I can upgrade my GPU.

Nevermind. . .

Have you tried contacting Nvidia about compatible v180 drivers?

 

[mikee]

yeah those r the ones i tried

Try here: nVIDIA ForceWare X 180.48 for Windows XP/2K 32bit. They have a modded INF file that adds support for your video cards.

The 180.60 CUDA driver supports 8600GTS, you can d/load it from Guru3D

EDIT: I have linked to the Vista x64 d/load, if you require a Vista x86 or XP x64/x86 the links are at the top of the page.
