Nvidia 306.23 WHQL Warning
----------------------------------------For the first time that i know of, Nvidia has split the GPUs their drivers will support. To make things extra confusing, both drivers have the exact same version number. This seems to apply to win 7/8/vista 64bit. Those who have more than 1 Nvidia GPU in their box with different model numbers may want to check that you have the correct driver. If you have the following GPUs: GeForce 600 Series GeForce GTX 690, GeForce GTX 680, GeForce GTX 670, GeForce GTX 660 Ti, GeForce GTX 650, GeForce GTX 660, GeForce GT 645, GeForce GT 640, GeForce GT 630, GeForce GT 620, GeForce GT 610, GeForce 605 GeForce 500 Series GeForce GTX 590, GeForce GTX 580, GeForce GTX 570, GeForce GTX 560 Ti, GeForce GTX 560 SE, GeForce GTX 560, GeForce GTX 555, GeForce GTX 550 Ti, GeForce GT 545, GeForce GT 530, GeForce GT 520, GeForce 510 GeForce 400 Series GeForce GTX 480, GeForce GTS 450, GeForce GT 440, GeForce GT 430, GeForce GT 420, GeForce 405 GeForce 300 Series GeForce GT 340, GeForce GT 330, GeForce GT 320, GeForce 315, GeForce 310 GeForce 200 Series GeForce GTX 295, GeForce GTX 285, GeForce GTX 280, GeForce GTS 250, GeForce GTS 240, GeForce GT 230, GeForce GT 240, GeForce GT 220, GeForce G210, GeForce 210, GeForce 205 GeForce 100 Series GeForce GT 140, GeForce GT 130, GeForce GT 120, GeForce G100 GeForce 9 Series GeForce 9800 GX2, GeForce 9500 GS, GeForce 9400 GT, GeForce 9400, GeForce 9300 GS, GeForce 9300 GE, GeForce 9300 SE, GeForce 9300, GeForce 9200, GeForce 9100 GeForce 8 Series GeForce 8800 Ultra, GeForce 8500 GT, GeForce 8400 GS, GeForce 8400 SE, GeForce 8400, GeForce 8300 GS, GeForce 8300, GeForce 8200, GeForce 8200 /nForce 730a, GeForce 8100 /nForce 720a Then you need this driver: http://www.geforce.com/drivers/results/48847 If you have any of these GPUs: GeForce 400 Series GeForce GTX 470, GeForce GTX 465, GeForce GTX 460 SE v2, GeForce GTX 460 SE, GeForce GTX 460 GeForce 200 Series GeForce GTX 275, GeForce GTX 260 GeForce 9 Series GeForce 9800 GTX/GTX+, GeForce 9800 GT, GeForce 9600 GT, GeForce 9600 GSO, GeForce 9600 GSO 512, GeForce 9600 GS, GeForce 9500 GT GeForce 8 Series GeForce 8800 GTX, GeForce 8800 GTS 512, GeForce 8800 GTS, GeForce 8800 GT, GeForce 8800 GS, GeForce 8600 GTS, GeForce 8600 GT, GeForce 8600 GS Then you need this driver: http://www.geforce.com/drivers/results/48771 As i said, both drivers are named 306.23 WHQL and both have the same release date, but you'll notice the links are slightly different.

Shouldn't this be in the GPU support forum rather then BETA?

Thanks for the heads up, nanoprobe, but I think Coleslaw's right. Can one of the mods move this thread, please?

As i said, both drivers are named 306.23 WHQL and both have the same release date, but you'll notice the links are slightly different. Both files are exactly THE SAME. Both of them are from the address http://us.download.nvidia.com/Windows/306.23/...ta-64bit-english-whql.exe and both of them are exactly the same checksum SHA1: f32492691ce59d904a0891af27144d5a17af28c5. I suppose that links you provided are from search results: then the difference could be because of different search criteria (different GPU, different OS) were applied, but they lead to the same file.  |

I always check supported hardware prior to downloading. Never noticed any problems from nvidia..

starting with 310 release drivers is where you will see the legacy hardware support drop.
