Infinity7 Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 You have posted a link to the driver, but I'm not sure if it is for desktop and laptop both. Also I think it must be 64-bit, but you really didn't say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mobilenvidia Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Cheers Stefan, for keeping us updated, I'll have a mountain of work to do when I get back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanG3D Posted June 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Sorry for confusion, i improved the description and added more links. If i forget naming 32/64 bit, it's usually 64 bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinity7 Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 I had trouble trying to find and install this 326.01 driver on Windows 8.1 64-bit. The driver was not available to me via Windows Update. Finally I found the solution. Someone else who had a GTX 580 said he used the Titan driver from Microsoft Update Catalog and it worked for him. I have a GTX 680, but I decided to try the Titan driver also. It worked! I grabbed the largest file size Titan driver from Microsoft Update Catalog, extracted it, ran the Setup.exe within that extraction, and chose the Express Install option. Success.....finally..... EDIT: I had tried the package for the GTX 680 and it didn't work. After further examination I can see why now. The package for the GTX 680 didn't include a nv_dispi.inf file. This nv_dispi.inf file in the Titan driver package contains the strings for most of the current desktop cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanG3D Posted June 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 I've added yet 2 more versions above. After wasting my time NVIDIA decided to host the drivers themselves :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
