I wonder if the Forceware drivers are the same as NVidia drivers (the unified drivers) ? I tried installing 66.00 and 66.30 but none of them installed correctly on my geForce FX 5900. I thought NVidia drivers were called 'Detonators' ? Anyway, I have 61.77 installed now (which is what is available on NVidia web site). I wonder if there are any newer Forceware drivers that would work with geForce 5900 ? Thank you, >> Stay informed about: Are Forceware drivers the same as regular Nvidia drivers?

CapFusion, please read my post again . I know it works, I have it installed. I'm asking what is a newer version of the driver that will work with the card.

In OEM / Manufacturer / VAR etc will have like 65.xx series. This is not for the public. So, let start again. You ask what work for FX5900. My answer was 61.77 as the latest version. Next, you ask what the latest version will work for FX5900. My answer is 61.77 is the latest version will work for FX5900. I think you should read your own post and my reply to your post. It seem like "a dog trying to catch it own tail" senerio here. Or you want me to tell you the unrelease [non public] version to see if FX5900 [the card] will work or not? Or you can also try goto Guru3D for ForceWare driver - <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?id=10" target="_blank">http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?id=10</a> This site will have like 66.10 for Windows2kXP [BETA].

In your case - "The Secret Society?" .. yes [aka Manufacturer / OEM etc.]..

The video card drivers are called Detonator, they useed to be called Forceware but recently changed names.
