So, I did what I always do when a product has outlived its supported lifespan - I updated and replaced my old cheap graphics card with something newer and frankly, just as cheap.
Microsoft has a generic VGA driver that does work in some cases, and you can also try the Windows 8 driver - but neither worked well for me in Insider Testing (You and I need the same driver) If they have chosen to deprecate those cards completely, then they will never be supported. Will NVIDIA eventually develop a driver? I have no idea, I contacted NVIDIA directly and they said they will not discuss future development plans. The device manufacturer chooses what legacy equipment to support and what legacy equipment not to support, Microsoft has no control over the hardware manufacturers decision or speed of development.
Then it would become NVIDIA's problem and I am sure they would do something about it.I have a post a couple of page down discussing this as a pain point after release, and it is.ĭoes Microsoft believe this is not their problem? Frankly, it isn't Microsoft problem, they provide the update spec to the hardware manufacturers well advanced of releasing a new product. Win 10 should include a generic driver to get the system going and then you could download a driver for the 6150SE to get all its benifits. This could get out of hand quickly and give Microsoft another black eye. How many other systems have the same problem with other display chipsets.
Even if they do then the question becomes will they make it available to be included in the ongoing OTA upgrades, or does Microsoft believe this is not their problem. I would assume NVIDIA has to come out with a driver that will power the system with W10. The question is are they going to do anything about it.
One of my two systems have that card and it will not upgrade either.
Here is our recommendation of several graphics cards that are more or less close in performance to the one reviewed.There is a ton of PC's with the NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE build in display card in them. Display ConnectorsĪPIs supported by GeForce 6150 SE + nForce 430, sometimes including their particular versions. As a rule, this section is relevant only for desktop reference video cards, since for notebook ones the availability of certain video outputs depends on the laptop model. Types and number of video connectors present on GeForce 6150 SE + nForce 430. Note that GPUs integrated into processors don't have dedicated memory and use a shared part of system RAM. Parameters of memory installed on GeForce 6150 SE + nForce 430: its type, size, bus, clock and resulting bandwidth. For desktop video cards it's interface and bus (motherboard compatibility), additional power connectors (power supply compatibility). Useful when choosing a future computer configuration or upgrading an existing one. Information on GeForce 6150 SE + nForce 430's compatibility with other computer components. Core clock speedĬompatibility, dimensions and requirements These parameters indirectly speak of GeForce 6150 SE + nForce 430's performance, but for precise assessment you have to consider its benchmark and gaming test results. GeForce 6150 SE + nForce 430's general performance parameters such as number of shaders, GPU base clock, manufacturing process, texturing and calculation speed.
