Question bfg 260

[ronss]

i am running bfg 260 in one of my computers......i have windows 10 home 64 bit...i cannot install the lastest nvidia driver......what could be the problem...running intel i5 8500.

Update: got the driver installed on the gtx 260....believe it was because i did not uninstall the driver that was on computer for another video card....this card is old...but not used much...sometimes i think i need to upgrade my video card.

I guess the gtx 260 is sort of a worthless card today....takes 2 x 4-pin pcie connnectors......but i still have one and it works great.

it was good during it's time. Everything eventually becomes outdated as time pass by.

anyway, the 260 is still good for retro gaming. I still keep a GT 530, which is an even weaker gpu than that, because I plan to use it on a Windows XP pc.

thks....did pay $200 plus for the gtx 260....got it paired with i5-2400....might use it for linux, etc...i got 6 computers in my home..and 2 laptops....8 total..and just myself...i was thinking.. damn, maybe too many...

i had windows 7 on my computer..upgraded with with windows 10, u can do it for free, just a bit tricky during install....i was thinking when windows 10 <support> expires in 2025, just as well have that instead of 7

you have 6 pc and 2 laptop all to yourself? wow, why did you buy so many?

I have 3 pc, and brother has 2 laptop. Sometimes my cousins come here, we do multiplayer games. I have 4 control pads for multiplayer.

all my pc have Windows 10. Because some playstation 4 games will not work with Windows 7.
however, one old pc here still has a functioning Windows 7 OS, it can still boot with Win 7 if I want it to.
