AJLynn Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 I've got this used Dell Precision M50 laptop, which has a Quadro4 500 GoGL 64MB. Only it's not. Windows has the video card listed as Dell Precision M50, with the chipset being the Quadro. I can install 2-year-old drivers from the Dell web site but if I try to install newer ones from nVidia it tells me it does not find a compatible card. (Is the first thing causing the second?) The old drivers seem to be glitchy, so I'd like the new ones. Anybody know a way to do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJLynn Posted May 27, 2005 Author Share Posted May 27, 2005 Nice. Very nice. For everybody else's reference, what these guys did was take the stock nVidia drivers and modify the .inf file for each to make it recognize mobile chips, and give it to you as a separate download - you download the driver, unpack it, put the .inf file in the unpack directory, install the driver using 'have disk', and you've got whatever version you want without waiting for your OEM to release one. Which, for Dell, evidently takes at least 2 years. (I guess this way they don't have to put as much work into tech support for driver versions?...) Great web site. Thanks Dude.
