So, i recently rebuilt, and i was going to try doing some PC gaming on W8. When i booted up Minecraft, i got an error. It stated that I don't have the right drivers for my Video Card! So, i posted this forum to see if anyone else has experienced the same problems, or know where to get the correct drivers. I will list my PC specs below.

Wow. I didn't expect it to be there. I searched EVGA's website for a solid 2 hours looking. I am installing now.

My result was unsuccessful. I got the following error message:

It's weird, because I AM using supposedly supported graphics hardware. :/

32 or 64 bit

[ROK99]

Just realized i have 64-bit but you sent me 32.
I will attempt to re install again and will post my results momentarily.

My error in thinking that with dabbling in W8 and that, you may have checked the W8 drivers on the link.

Nevertheless I apologise, I should have sent simply the link to GeForce drivers, as you will know that I did not know which W8 you had

[ROK99]

No worries, i found it and my result was successful. I will test MC soon.

[Macboatmaster]

I will test MC soon.

?

Pleased the driver worked

[ROK99]

MC = Minecraft.
One of the only games i play on my PC but plan on buying more as i upgraded it.

Btw, Thanks for all your help. I really appreciate it.

Sorry for the ? I am not a gamer

Pleased you have the right driver now from the link I sent you for Nvidia GeForce drivers.

EVGA had clearly not bothered to update their driver list for Windows 8, probably with it being - NOT a recent model

Hi There.
This Site posts news of drivers whenever they become available. > http://pcsupport.abo...sta-xp.htm?nl=1

[ROK99]

I do not have an AMD graphics card. I have the EVGA GeForce GT 640

Sorry, should have worded my post "for future reference". This was the last one for Nvidia Beta drivers, please read the whole post and the release notes at the bottom of the Nvidia download page > http://pcsupport.abo...-8-vista-xp.htm
