Drivers

[shortymet55]

Im getting ready for my new graphics card. I read i should download the driver rather than use the one on the CD in case its not up to date. o anyways I looked for drivers (it might help to let you know its http://www.foxconnchannel.com/EN-US/product/GraphicCards/detail_overview.aspx?ID=en-gb0000022). I found 64bit and 32bit versions. I have no idea which to get. Its going in a dell(dimension 4700), and im not sure what to download. so, can someone tell me how to find which to use. THanks

Download the 64-bit version driver only if you are running a 64-bit version of Windows.

Most likely you're running a 32-bit version of Windows (if not you would probably know), so go with the 32-bit.

should i use the driver from nvidia or from the card manufacturer? Does it matter? Like are they the same? From http://www.foxconnchannel.com/EN-US...oductModel=FV-N76TM2DT-R3&TypeID=en-gb0000017 I mean after putting in graphics, 7600, etc.

I never use the cd drivers, the ones on foxconn site are from October 2006 for XP. Use the Nvidia ones.

weird. Im getting ready for installing the card, so it is quicker to install when i get it. I have the driver ready to install, but i cant find the one i will uninstall. I was told even though it is integrated i should get rid of the old driver. so i went to my device manager and all it has is Legacy Video Capture Devices other audio drivers and codecs. Is the legacy the one I want?
