Driver for NVIDIA GeForce Go 6800 supporting OpenGL 3.3

[jim-artsnova]

Hi everyone,

I'm looking to write C++ for OpenGL 3.3 on my Inspiron 9300 laptop running Windows XP and which has the NVIDIA GeForce Go 6800 card with 256mg memory.

I'm already using the latest driver offered via the Dell web site (6.14.10.8430) but that only supports OpenGL v2.0

Can someone please recommend a good driver version for my situation?

Thanks, Jim

Your card only supports OpenGL 2.x. Sorry. But any of the recent drivers on this site should work with your laptop, and updating would be a good idea considering the age of the drivers you have installed now.

Sigh - that's what I was afraid of.

Thank you for taking the time to provide an answer.
