Which driver would you use for Asus EN6600?
Hello, My son gave me his older ASUS EN6600 video card. I need some
drivers for XP and Vista. The ASUS site seems to be down all the time. Is there any place else to get the drivers? Nvidia maybe? The card I have is the "Silencer" model with no fan. I'm installing this into my Dell machine at work. What size power supply would you guess it would take? I think my PC has either a 250W or 300W supply. Many thanks to you nvidia gurus. |

Your PSU is too underpowered for that modern video card.

I think my PC has either a 250W or 300W supply. Many thanks to you nvidia gurus. The power in 3D mode is listed as 27.6W here, for a vanilla 6600. http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/vid...00-ddr2_4.html To know whether the PSU is enough, you would need to post what is printed on the label of the power supply. As well as indicate what processor is being used, how many hard drives, CD or DVD drives. The processor and video card are fairly large consumers, the drives less so. If you already had a video card in the machine, and are replacing it with the 6600, I expect the incremental increase in power is minimal. If there was no video card before, then now you are using 27.6 more watts, max. Paul |

I am pretty sure the video is on-board with shared ram. As far as the power supply, I will need to look at it Monday when I go in to work. The 28 watts extra doesn't sound too bad, I think if the machine was configured with the 300W PS then I'll be okay. Still need the video drivers though. Any suggestions with these? |

Have you been to the Nvidia web page ? You can follow the handy selection process he http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp Or there is an archive of older drivers here, for example: http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp-2k_archive.html And at the bottom of it, there is the FTP server. Note that you can find manuals and drivers here. ftp://download.nvidia.com/Windows/91.31/ HTH, Paul |

Your PSU is too underpowered for that modern video card. Again spreading BS, DaveW? Still don't have a clue what you are talking about? FYI: the Geforce 6600 series doesn't need much power (around 28W in 3D and even less when running 2D apps only), and basically these cards run just fine even with a 230W PSU. Benjamin |

Sure, get them from Nvidia. They made the GPU, and they also are making the drivers (all Asus does is putting one copy of the Nvidia drivers on their website, and rarely updates them). So it's always the best solution to get the drivers from there... The card I have is the "Silencer" model with no fan. I'm installing this into my Dell machine at work. What size power supply would you guess it would take? I think my PC has either a 250W or 300W supply. Should be enough. Just be sure that the card gets cooled somehow, if it doesn't have a fan then the PC must provide a sufficient internal air flow... Benjamin |

The optiplex GX280 I have at work I'm pretty sure is a BTX case design. |
