I have a afox gt 610 and whenever i try to install the newest drivers from geforce experience or the nvidia webpage, my card doesent display correctly. It works fine with the drivers included in the cd which came with the card. The new drivers install succesfully but when i reboot my pc the resolution stays at 800x600 and i cant get it up to my native resolution.. PLEASE HELP
 
It's an older card. Understandably, I'm sure its limitations are understood, but its commodity for newer drivers and an older architecture/poor performance make it something of a relic, really. However, if you're only using it for multiple displays, these things don't matter. I'd revert to the old drivers, as any new drivers that just make for optimization aren't worth the hassle.
 


Drivers arent exactly my problem, when i play games for at least an hour or less my screen goes glitching colors :/ I can still play the game but its glitchy as hell, restarting the game usally fixes this... I thought updating the driver might fix this
 


This card is an old one, and even drops behind some IGPUs on any given 6/7th gen Intel/Ryzen 7/5/3. I'd imagine the card is finally getting ready to kick the bucket. Its optimization in games is surprising, that it even still is supported is something. With 1GB of DDR3 and a 64-bit bus, it's obsoleteness is shining like a diamond. It's still fine for multi-monitor displays, but it just isn't cutting mustard with any new titles, even on lower settings.
 


This doesent exactly solve my problem :/
 


There's hardly any solution besides an upgrade. I'm frankly surprised they're still outputting driver updates for such a card. I'd look to older forums for when the card was still relevant. 😛
