Hello,
Does anyone know what was the last NVidia gpu to be supported under winXP was? I have an old windows home server computer with a low profile ASUS 9400GT in it, and the card may be failing. I'm wondering what would be the latest vid card I could put in there that would have drivers. I don't need a ton of speed and might actually downgrade to a slow passively cooled card especially if its cheap, but I don't know how wide my choices are. All the cards I can find online proudly list win7 and win10 drivers, and NVidia's site is not very helpful.
Thanks!

A couple of questions:
Why limit to Nvidia? For a server even a motherboard integrated chip should do.
And since it's a server, would you need a video card at all? I mean, can't you manage it using another computer through the network?
http://www.geforce.com/drivers (http://www.geforce.com/drivers) found 32 bit XP drivers for GTX960, so you should be able to find what you need.

Thx.
Integrated chip isn't enough to run my monitor. It's an old mobo with an nivida 6150 gfx chip, AMD cpu.
Nvidia because I've had instability with the last 3 AMD video cards I've had, and zero problems with any of my NVidia cards. I would use the integrated chipset driver except that I occasionally use a real monitor for administration, and it can't drive my widescreen flat panel.
Thx for the info on the drivers. I searched NVidia's website and the file they had labelled "final winxp drivers" only went up to 8xxx series I think, so I just couldn't tell what was an option.

Hehe, too good a monitor for administrating... :t
Anyhow, all I did was a manual driver search on that page, setting Win XP as the OS and started to search starting from the latest models. 960 was the first one offering a result.

A fanless GT 730 looks like a reasonably cheap option... The GT 210s are $39 but there is one fanless GT 730 for $55.99 on amazon.
