Difference between Xelo drivers and nVIDIA drivers for GeForce FX5200 card?
I have an nVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 card that came with a computer I got
off eBay. No problems with the card, but I happened to discover that the driver CD is damaged. I went to the nVidia site and downloaded XP drivers for it. But the name on the driver CD is Xelo, not nVIDIA. I found there is a company called XELO with drivers for this and other cards. The drivers from the nVIDIA site are about 45 megs. The drivers from the Xelo website are about 25 megs. I was under the impression that nVIDIA is the company that makes this card, but from what I've read I get the impression that Xelo also sells or sold this card. Am I misunderstanding something - isn't the card made by nVIDIA? And why the difference in the size of the Xelo and nVIDIA drivers? |

Nvidia makes GPU's they sell to card manufacturers, they don't manufacture and sell cards under their own name, unlike ATI/AMD. This company's (Xeno) latest videocard offerings are the 5900XT and the 9800SE . The latest Forceware drivers on their website were released Nov 9th 2004. Which explains the 25Mb size. Use the latest from Nvidia. |
