Download drivers for nvidia geforce 9800 gt

NVIDIA - The largest modern brand that specializes in the production of video cards. NVIDIA graphic adapters, like any other video cards, in principle, special drivers are needed to disclose the potential. They will not only help improve the performance of the device, but also allow you to use non-standard permissions to your monitor (if it supports them). In this lesson, we will help you find and install software for the NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT video card.

Several ways of installing NVIDIA drivers

Install the desired software can be absolutely different ways. All method below differ from each other, and can be used in situations of varying complexity. A prerequisite for fulfilling all options is the availability of active Internet connection. Now proceed directly to the description of the methods themselves.

Method 1: NVIDIA website

1. We go to the software download page, which is located on the official website of NVIDIA.
2. On this page you will see the fields that you need to complete the appropriate information for the correct search for drivers. This is necessary as follows.

• Type of product - GeForce.;
• Product Series - GeForce 9 Series.;
• Operating system - here it is necessary to specify the version of its operating system and its discharge;
• Language - choose the language that you are preferable.

After that, you need to click the "Search" button.

On the next page you can read additional information regarding the driver itself (version, size, release date, description) and view a list of supported video cards. Pay attention to this list. It must necessarily include your adapter GeForce 9800 GT. After reading with all information, you need to click the "Download Now" button.

Before the download itself, you will be offered to familiarize yourself with the license agreement. You can see it by clicking on the link on the next page. To start the download, you need to click the "Accept and Download" button, which is located just below the reference itself.

Immediately after clicking on the button, the installation file will start. With medium Internet speed, it will be loaded around a pair of minutes. We wait for the end of the process and launch the file itself.

Before installing the program, you will need to extract all the necessary files and components. In the window that appears, you will need to specify the place on the computer where the utility will place these files. You can leave the way without change or register your own. In addition, you can click on the button in the form of a yellow folder next to the string and select the place manually from the general list. When the file storage is determined, click the "OK" button.

After that, we expect until the utility unpacks all the components you need into the previously specified folder.

After unpacking, the installation process will begin. The first window you will see will check the compatibility of your system and the driver installed.

In some cases, after checking compatibility, various errors may occur. They can be caused by different reasons. Overview of the most common mistakes and methods of their elimination we were considered in one of our lessons.

Lesson: problem solving options when installing the NVIDIA driver

We hope you will not have errors, and you will see the window with the text of the license agreement below. You can explore it, turning the text to the Niza itself. In any case, to continue the installation you need to press the button "Accept. Proceed"

After that, a window will appear with the choice of installation parameters. This is perhaps the most important thing in the installation of software in this way. If you have not yet been installed, the NVIDIA driver is installed - select Express item. In this case, the program will automatically set all the software and additional components. By selecting the "Selecting Installation" parameter, you can independently select those components that need to be installed. In addition, you can perform a clean installation, deleting previous profiles and video card settings files. For example, take a "selective installation" and click the Next button.

In the next window, you will see a list of all components available for installation. We celebrate the necessary, setting next to the title. If necessary, put a tick and opposite the string "perform a clean installation". After everything is done, we press the "Next" button again.

The next step will be the direct installation of software and the previously selected components.

We extremely not recommended to run any 3D applications at this moment, since during the driver installation, they can simply hang.

A few minutes after the start of installation, the utility will need to reboot your system. You can do it manually by clicking the "Restart Now" button in the window that appears, or simply wait for one minute, after which the system will restart automatically. Reboot is required in order for the program to correctly delete the old version of the drivers. Therefore, before starting the installation, it is not necessary to do this manually.

When the system is loaded again, the installation of drivers and components will continue automatically. The program will require another couple of minutes, after which you will see a message with the results of installation. To complete the process, simply press the "Close" button at the bottom of the window.

This method will be completed.

Method 2: NVIDIA service for search drivers

Before proceeding with the description of the way, we would like to run a little forever. The fact is that to use this method you will need Internet Explorer or any other browser with Java support. If you are disabled on Internet Explorer, you can display Java, then you should explore a special lesson.
