Release 75 driver dishes Geforce 2 and older cards
WHILE WE were searching for a story I found a rather interesting link out in the wild. Actually, I spotted it right at the lion's den, at Nvidia's web site.
Nvidia has been talking about unified drivers for ages but one by one it's starting to drop the older cards as they possible reached its End of Life period even in terms of support. Nvidia never goes publicly about this, but if you have any of TNT 2 to Geforce 2 Ultra or old Quadro one and two cards you won't be able to use release 75 drivers anymore.
Here is the complete list of dished cards that includes TNT2, TNT2 Pro, TNT2 Ultra, TNT2 Model 64 (M64), TNT2 Model 64 (M64) Pro, Vanta, Vanta LT, GeForce 256, GeForce DDR, GeForce2 GTS, GeForce2 Pro, GeForce2 Ti, GeForce2 Ultra, GeForce2 MX Integrated graphics, Quadro, Quadro2 Pro or Quadro2 EX.
You will be able to use such cards with older driver but I guess you won't be able to cry to Nvidia if you find some game problems with your current cards. All those cards are from pre-shader times so Nvidia wants you to have Shader capable card, at least Shader model 1.
Putting the list together brings jogs my memory brain cells, as at some point or other, almost every card listed went through my hands and many of those cards are from my simple Bosnian boy pre-INQ hack times. It seems like ages if you work in so progressive industry I guess.
Here is the Linq with details, list and solution. µ
