How can I get a proper driver?

Norihito Watanabe Nov 14, 2018 9:03 PM

I can't find a graphic card driver for my Quadro K4000 in my DELL PRECISION T3600.
Does anyone have the same problem?
I would be grateful if someone could tell me about it.

  Thanks for telling.
  I'm so sorry I forgot writing about OS version.
  I use Windows 10.
  So I can't find the driver for WIndows 10.
  (I know that I can fins the driver for the Windows 7)
  Would someone tell me how to solve it?
  (I already asked a vender in Japan I bought but I haven't gotten the answer yet.)
  I hope I can get a good information.
  Regards.

  I usually start with the SOLIDWORKS Certified drivers (link in the other post).
  If that doesn't work, I will go to nvidia.com and look for their most current driver.

    Thanks again.
    I already downloaded the latest driver for Windows 10 but SolidWorks let me know it's not proper and SolidWorks Rx shows the result that the graphics performance is bad because of the driver which doesn't match.
    So I'm in trouble.

      Is the performance of the graphics card bad when you are working in SOLIDWORKS?
      I believe that SOLIDWORKS Rx compares the driver against the Certified Driver database - we already know that this isn't going to match, so it will give you the message, but I would keep using the latest nvidia driver if you are getting decent performance.
      
      I believe that you might be able to download older versions of the driver, and you know that it is somewhere between what is on the certified driver page and the latest nvidia driver . . . just start experimenting.
      (Keep in mind that even if you find something that works great, SOLIDWORKS Rx will tell you it is wrong if it doesn't match the driver in the database.)

        I changed the driver from latest one to the 386.07.
        It's better than the latest version.
        Thanks all.
        Regards.
