Nvidia driver update
I am running an FX 5200 right now and I noticed that on the Nvidia website they had a new driver release for forceware version 61.76, is it necessary for me to download this driver or is it just mainly for newer cards? I was also wondering if the 61.76 is not a needed driver how do I find out if there are any updates for the FX 5200? Thanks for any advice.
i was worried about installing drivers and only recently installed the 56xx ones and on a game i play, my FPS increased by about 30 on the GeForce FX5200, and i only have 3ghz 512mb ddr dimension 8300. I installed the official 61.76 ones and I didnt notice much change but games work smoother now for sure.

dukelion, so your saying that by downloading this newest driver update from nvidia the games that I play will run much smoother? The only game that I have that requires a lot of my card is Far Cry, I have noticed some noticeable lag usually when I am in a room or something similar. Just really looking for a definitive yes or no on whether to download it. Thanks again.- yeah i think they work better because the drivers enable more configuration and it allows you to change vertical sync, even though i leave it on, i still found it is alot smoother. The drivers came with my 8300 did not allow me to change alot of settings but the best way is trial and error really.

Welcome to the Dell Community Forum (DCF).
Typically, you only load drivers when you are correcting a problem.
