Drivers for T61p's NVIDIA Quadro FX 570M

#1 Post by arlab » Sat Oct 18, 2008 11:20 am

Greetings. I used to have the default Windows Update NVIDIA Quadro FX 570M for Vista x64.

Unfortunately, recently, I had the sad idea of installing Lenovo's drivers (via System Update), since they were more recent.

That made me lose A LOT of resolutions, including the one I'm needing now: 1280 x 800px.

Where can I download (again) the Windows Update driver? Also, is it recommended to uninstall the previous driver before installing a new one, or that isn't needed?

Finally, anyone knows other better, STABLE, drivers for T61p (that offer many resolutions, including 1280x800px and 1920 x 1200px)?

In the Device Manager there is an option to "Roll-back" to the previous driver as well as search for updates for that specific driver. Useful feature.

I "rolled-back" and the 1280x800px resolution returned.
However, I was curious to see if Microsoft had launched a new driver, so I searched for it. The driver was the same as Lenovo's, but I still installed to see if the resolution disappeared again... and it did.

Oh well... I guess it wasn't Lenovo's fault...

Hi there, I got the same problem on my T61p. I've also noticed that after that "newer" driver installed, I couldn't run a lot of those old games like: Age of Empire 2, Start Craft, Diablo you name it. Always told me that I don't have a DirectX compatible graphic card. Not sure if you have this issue. Sorry if I didn't provide anything useful. :P
