Not exactly what it says ...(quote) "A beta driver with OpenGL support was once leaked by Nvidia but was canceled later, and there is no Windows 2000 driver for RIVA 128 on Nvidia's driver site today."

Is someone have it? Thats the question.

I found a website that is hosting Win2k drivers for the Riva 128 that has an opengl driver included..... The version of the driver is 3.37

This page has a v3.37 for 9x, which may work on 2k. WDM, IIRC?
https://soggi.org/drivers/nvidia.htm

Apparently I have a malicious browser and can't download the file (probably the lying referrer), so can't have a mooch at the driver. The file's size is bigger than the older NT4, which fits with the Ars comment from 2003.

Thats the last win98 vxd driver on the link.

I found some other sources. The file was called "riva128(zx)Win2k.zip"

*** Offiziell gibt es von nVidia keinen Windows 2000 Treiber für die Riva 128 (ZX), es gibt nur den von Microsoft bei Windows 2000 mitgelieferten Treiber. Dieser 3.37er Treiber ist also ein Hack und wir wissen derzeit auch nicht, wie gut dieser funktioniert bzw. ob er besser ist als der bei Windows 2000 mitgelieferte Treiber. ***

So basically never tested by anyone, and could be just simply fake

"NVIDIA RIVA 128/128ZX Display Driver for Windows 2000 version x.xx, MM/DD/YYYY"

Maybe they just simply extracted it from windows, and put the NT4 opengl driver into the package, and it worked for them.
