Hi guys

I'm trying to install a 6600GT on a PCIe Windows 98 build.

I've downloaded the 81.something drivers for Windows 98 for the 6600GT from the Nvidia website but when I run it, it can't find a relevant card to install. Checking the readme it only goes up to FX5800!

The card came with a driver disk which has a Windows 98 install folder but I think it's a very similar driver and also doesn't actually support the card in Windows 98!

Is there a Windows 98 driver for a PCIe 6600GT available?

82.69 is moded to support everything, may require r_Loew specific patches for some issues (shut down problem, or 512MB VRAM).
There should be a version of it that has those build-in.

71.84 should support 6600 GT, for example. Also, if the installer can't detect your card properly, you can always install the driver directly drom the device manager.

Latest official Win9x drivers you can still find on NVIDIA's website (81.98): https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/11/en-us/ only support AGP versions of Geforce 6000 series in its INF file, not PCI-E variants!
Using modded 82.69 drivers will work fine: http://web.archive.org/web/20150602212418/htt … iles/NV8269.ZIP
