driver updates
« on: June 03, 2010, 04:43:22 pm »
NVIDIA GeForce 7100 / NVIDIA nForce6301

What does this mean? Do I have 2 video cards? What updates should I get?

GeForce is the graphics card, nForce is the motherboard.

ok, now the only related update I can find is the GeForce 7 Series, but I have GeForce 7100, does that matteR? or do I need a different update?

I'm not sure, but it seems like 7100 would be part of the 7 series.

great, now after downloading it, maximized screens don't maximize to fit the resolution. No matter the resolution they are still wider then the resolution. Even with my ridiculously wide screen.

 Did you follow the instructions? You need to remove your previous Nvidia drivers before installing a new one. I believe This Link should provide you with the right instructions. It's what I used to update my drivers.

I would bet money Andrew has edited things retroactively, except I can't prove anything because it was edited retroactively.

So, why did you update your drivers?  Was something broke, or were you just feeling lucky?

I have windows 7, the information in that thread does not match what I have on my computer.Seems they upgraded so it overwrites the old driver. That is not the problem. ANy other ideas on why my resolution is messed up?

Just got a new computer and the game I play "league of legends" had screen fitting problems. I asked them what to do and they said to update drivers.
