So I downloaded forceware 81.98 but I have artifacts in sim city 2000 I'm wondering if I should try a older driver? thoughts?

On Phil's archive, it looks like the earliest drive that includes the 6200 is 66.94: https://www.philscomputerlab.com/nvidia-9x-gr … cs-drivers.html

is the earliest usually the best? or the very next one?

IMO the driver that works best for what you're doing is the best one. Sometimes an older driver will solve an issue, sometimes a newer one will. Very early Nvidia drivers seem to work better with older hardware.

it seems none of those have 6200 I don't think they are full driver packs

any other download links for 66.94 that includes 6200 support none of the ones I find will finish the download they all crash or never download

The 6200 is supported (and the 6600/6880). The readme is just not updated. Look at the bottom of NVAGP.INF file.

I tried both of those versions (though not the specifically the vogons downloads) it said standard graphics adapter in device manager after install I’m not home atm to try the vogons ones specifically but those versions didn’t install the 6200 driver when downloaded elsewhere.
