NVIDIA Drivers for Windows 8, 7, Vista & XP

NVIDIA supports Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows XP less and less with each new GPU and driver release. However, they do support many GPUs on these versions of Windows.

Desktop GPUs

Notebook GPUs

Vista and XP

The following drivers are only designed for desktop GPUs, but you may have luck getting them to work on your notebook or laptop PC. If not, check with your computer maker for better drivers or with NVIDIA for an older release.

Other NVIDIA Drivers

Other downloads like nForce drivers, GeForce drivers for non-Windows operating systems, previous driver releases, and much more, can be found on the GeForce Drivers page.

If you're using a relatively recent version of NVIDIA's GeForce drivers, right-click the NVIDIA icon in the system tray and choose Check for updates. You can download and install the driver automatically from there. If you want to be prompted for beta driver updates, be sure to check the appropriate box in the Preferences tab.

If you're looking for an up-to-date resource on new drivers, see our Windows 10 Drivers, Windows 8 Drivers, or Windows 7 Drivers lists. We keep those pages updated with information and links to new drivers available from NVIDIA and other major hardware makers.

More Ways to Get New NVIDIA Drivers

NVIDIA's GeForce Experience can be installed to detect NVIDIA drivers that need to be installed. This makes it very easy to not only know when the drivers need to be updated but also where, exactly, to get the updates—the program will do it for you.

Another automatic way to download and install NVIDIA drivers is a free driver updater tool.

Even though downloading drivers straight from the manufacturer is always preferred, you can instead go through a third-party. See these driver download websites for some examples.

Having Trouble With These New NVIDIA Drivers?

A good first step if your newly installed NVIDIA drivers don't work is to uninstall the NVIDIA installation package that you just ran and then reinstall it. You can do this from the appropriate applet in Control Panel.

If you can't reinstall the NVIDIA package for some reason, try rolling back the driver, also something you do from Control Panel. See How to Roll Back a Driver in Windows for detailed instructions in all versions of Windows.
