James987 Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 Hey, a buddy of mine just bought a Compaq (yeah, like the hp brand, not Compal), a CQ50. And it came shipped with the New GeForce 8200M G. It actually performs realllly well, around 30fps on Company of Heroes and 25fps on Source 2008. On Vista x32 too! Anyways, in order to run his video editing software, it requires older video drivers, however the modded inf doesnt support the 8200. All I know about it is that it is a new integrated-ish chip from nvidia, so it doesn't have much driver support yet. Is it possible to downgrade it at all? Right now it has some like, brand new 170.somthing drivers. Halp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wook Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 yeah just add the device ID and card number into the inf file. eg "NVIDIA_G84.DEV_0407.1 = "NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT" thats my card and the device ID. you just find your device id etc and paste it in. (use GPU-z to find the ID) - free download EDIT: once you have put the details in, install the driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James987 Posted August 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 whoa whoa whoa, how did you install the 174.74? Are you on Vista? Everytime we do it, it says device not supported, even with the modded INF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
