Nvidia not updating drivers for Geforce 2 and below?

18th June 2002, 18:12

Well, I just performed a clean install of windows XP and the first thing I did to get rid of that 8-bit color depth on my desktop was to download the new detonators from nvidia.com. The version there is 29.42 I believe...

Anyhoo, I installed it and the version reported in the advanced display properties for my nForce IGP is 28.32! I then went to guru3d.com and downloaded the refresh-rate fixed 29.4x drivers and found that the only cards to choose from in those drivers are geforce 4!

Has nvidia stopped updating drivers for legacy products?

TNT -> GF4 as far as I know

Yes, that is what I did... got the drivers straight from nvidia.com. I also tried the drivers from guru3d.com and experienced the same problem, no support for older nvidia cards in the new drivers. I guess its just me :wtf2:
