Where to get Nvidia 189.xx drivers?

[Kitsune]

<p>I can't get them from Guru 3D nor Nvidia site, and googling doesn't get me them either.</p><p>It seems to stop at 186.xx ,which I am using then jump to 190.xx. I would appreciate a Link for the 189.xx the Devs are recommending here that we use.</p><p>Thanks.</p>

<p>I have no idea what the numbering scheme is behind Nvidia versioning but, so far as I know, there is no 189.xx version driver.  Use the 186 driver available from the Nvidia archives. </p>

<p>I am at work and so can't test but you used ot be able to get nvidia drivers directly from their ftp server at <a href="ftp://ftp.nvidia.com">ftp.nvidia.com</a> </p>

<p>Oh, I can find drivers, just not the 189 ones the devs are suggesting.</p>

<p>Heh, I belive it was. No biggie. So may I ask which driver you are currently recommending, please? The 186.xx series?</p><p>I seem to be doing better on High Quality settings with a program called FreeRam XP Pro running that frees ram up.</p><p>Am also asking my PC guru about the comand line switch for reallocating the ram use to 3 ram available for gaming and such, with 1 ram spare, rather than 2 x 2.
