Hello, My laptop uses the GeForce 7400 video card, and I have been unable to find any drivers aside from the 8454. Where can I get better drivers for this card? I appreciate any help you can provide. Thanks!

no luck.

I purchased an ATI Sapphire HD 3850. After installing the card and the drivers from the disk, I lost all sound on my computer. I can't seem to find anything muted in the settings. I have a Soudblaster Live! sound card, and when I run the diagnostic that comes with the card, it says everything...

Hello, A quick question pertaining to motherboards. If I am running an Nforce motherboard like the EVGA 133 K8 NF41, will adding a ATI video card have any negative effects on the performance of the computer or does it really not matter at all? Thanks!

How does this card look? It is OC'd.http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=10007312&prodlist=pricegrabber

Thanks! Last question: Will switching to an ATI card require me to reformat my computer? I have been using an Nvidia card and the Nvidia drivers. Will this cause an issue that will require a reformat? Thanks.

So I am safe to say that there should be no compatibility issue with the 3850 and the motherboard I listed?

...and the 2.0 issue? Will this be compatable with this motherboard? http://www.dealtime.com/xPF-Evga-EVGA-133-K8-NF41-AX-NForce4-SLI-Audio-GB-LAN-USB-PCI-E-SATA-RAID-DDR-ATX-64-939

Thanks. That was informative. Unfortunately, the results demonstrated there are for a 256mb 8600, not the 512mb version. I am not sure how much of a difference this would make, but certainly the 512 would fair better than the 256. I know I am coming across as an Nvidia fanboy right now...

It seems that all of the 3850-type cards are PCI 2.0. I am using a PCIe X16 and I don't plan on buying another motherboard. Secondly, the core clock and on board memory are nearly identical for both the Nvidia and ATI cards. I do notice that the ATI's are 256 bit instead of 128 like the...

Hello, I have been considering purchasing the EVGA GeForce 8600GTS 512MB video card. It will be an upgrade from my EVGA GF 7800GT. With regard to new "next gen" games such as Crysis, Unreal Tournament and COD 4, how will this card stand up to these games? I have played the demos and my old...

Hey there, I am curious, is SLI possible if I mix an eVGA 256-P2-N516 GF7800GT and an eVGA 256-P2-N518 GF7800GT? They arn't the exact same card, but they both have the same pixel pipes and onboard memory. Is it un-orthodox do do this? John

Any info a bit more concrete than this? I appreciate the imput though :D. Im sure someone else has had to find laptop drivers for Nvidia cards. HP has been absolutely no help. Thanks in advance (again), -Helk

I am confused on which drivers to download for my new laptop's video card. The laptop has a GF7400 Go. The Nvidia site supplies drivers for the GF7800GT Go specificially, but makes no mention of what should be used on my model. Should I go with the 7800 Go drivers, or just follow the normal...
