Vista driver and 8600GT Saturday, March 31, 2012 12:20 AM (permalink)
Hello -
I'm really having some adventures with this card in Vista.  I Installed 295,73 but I found
just navigating around the desktop, moving and resizing different windows, etc,etc
to be sluggish.  I uninstalled and just for a laugh I allowed Windowsupdate to install
the display driver.  To my surprise it was version 275.33.  Physx was not installed,
but Nvidia update was.  (Do I need Physx?)
 
The Nvidia driver downloads tool recommends 296.10.
 
It's an old box (Nforce 410 chipset) so no heavy duty games going on.
In XP (same box dual boot) I have one of the 285.xx drivers running -
seems OK.
 
In general, should this older display adapter be using the latest drivers?
