Where can I get older Nvidia drivers?

I went to my OEM site to download an older driver for my Geforce 9600M GT but it was only for a 32 bit system and I am 64 bit. Is that really strange that they didn't even offer it in 64 bit?

Anyway, there was less icon lagg and window lagg using no Nvidia driver so I guess the newest one is causing some slow down in how windows manifest and icon manifest. Does that make sense?

Can you tell me where I can get an older and better nvidia driver than the current one?

Hi Rolo,

Have you let Windows update install one for you? It will usually be a bit older than the ones from the manufacturer's site, and Windows should install the x64 version.

no I have not. I will uninstall the Nvidia driver now and hope Win update offers one quick :)

thank you

any advice on removing the current nvidia driver?

Hi,

Just a straight uninstall should do it mate.

all Nvidia stuff has been removed. Just waiting for Windows update to offer an older Nvidia version :)

Google has quite a few results, the most promising of which looks to be the one at the bottom of the list here: NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT Video Card Driver Download.

thanks for the link. Quick question thought. Why should I go for that driver over waiting for Windows update to offer me an older Nvidia driver?

also, I do not think it is a 9600M GT (M meaning mobile for a notebook)

I would always take the Win7 drivers provided by installer, Windows Update and the Windows Driver Store first. But it doesn't hurt to compare.

When I check the Nvidia site it finds 64 bit W7 driver for the 9M notebook series. Drivers - GeForce

To confirm this you can run the auto detect app here: Drivers - GeForce

Thanks greg, the wizard does tell me which driver to download but it's the newest driver and I think i would be better off with an older Nvidia driver. Still waiting for Windows Update to offer one.

I can't be sure, but I really think the newest Nvidia driver is causing lagg of my icons and stuff like that to manifest. Does that make sense?
