So atm I'm busy downloading drivers from Nvidia (old drivers) and at the same time trying to google what drivers are good for which graphics cards and which drivers to avoid.
And this got me wondering...which drivers do you use for which graphics cards and perhaps more important, why do you prefer the particular driver you're using? Any particular driver for a particular graphics card you'd recommend?
I'll start even though I can't remember which drivers I used for most of my builds.
For my Rendition 2100 (made by diamond) I simply used the driver included on the driver disk. I have no idea which version of the driver it was but at least it worked.
So what's your experience with drivers? Which one worked for you, what were the drawbacks and what's a definite nono? I'm curious 😁
Edit: Btw, I'm specifically interested in older (AGP etc) graphics cards. I suppose since so much is known about them, but I wanted the opinions of the ones who are the most knowledgeable (like the people here on Vogons who still build these machines today).
Another edit: Strange that I totally forgot to ask about the OS as well, seems like an important thing to mention as well 😜
