Rare Driver 348.12 nVidia x86 for an oldie Notebook - Help To Find.

Hi all, by any chance, do you have this driver? Old notebook (8 years or more).

model Asus P2420SJ with a very cheap nVidia 920m Keppler card.

I'm pretty sure Fujitsu, MSI, HP, Toshiba also released that driver.

Full driver version nVidia 348.12 (DriverVer   = 05/08/2015, 9.18.13.4812)

! 32-bit, need only 32 bit. Thank you !

I want to install Vista 32 on that laptop, it had crappy performance with win8.

The laptop is very weak, win8 is its performance killer.

I thought my driver collection went back that far, but the oldest I could find is the generic nVidia v365.10_x86 from 5/2/2016, notebook-win8-win7-32bit-international-whql.exe, if that would help.

Thank you very much for taking the time, bphlpt! Unfortunately that one is too new, it works, but the poor tender piece of junk 920m simply chokes up on newer drivers. 

There are some places that still had the driver archived, but only in the 64bit form. I wonder maybe someone also archived the 32bit version, too.

In case you can't find such a driver, what about installing Windows 7 32-bit instead of Windows Vista 32-bit? Would that be an option for you? Or is Windows Vista 32-bit a must? For Windows 7 32-bit in combination with the 920m graphics card, there are definitely drivers available. Just an idea. :dubbio:

I had a similar notebook, and this is what I used for it, the driver came on the CD disk. I don't know why it says only Wind.7, when you open it, it's a Wind.8 driver inside.

32-BIT v.9.18.13.4801

The drivers for Win7, 8, 8.1 were often bundled together. I would be more concerned that this is designated a driver for a desktop, while you are looking for one for a notebook. But since you say that you have used it for a similar notebook yourself, then it's probably worth giving it a shot. :)

Thanks for bringing it to my attention, it looks like it's suited for laptops as well, if you open it and look into the *.inf, it's mobile chips there also present.

NVIDIA_DEV.0DE9.90B8.1B0A = "NVIDIA GeForce GT 630M

NVIDIA_DEV.105A.2661.1462 = "NVIDIA GeForce 610M"

920M is nothing more than yet another iteration of older Keppler cards from 2012.

The driver works very well, thanks @Karla Sleutel! You're a saviour!

In the meantime, any suggestions to find 348.12 are still relevant, thank you all!

Glad to be of help!

I think I found even better!

Dell Quadro Driver 348.17 for Windows 7 (32-bit) and Windows 8.1 (32-bit).

WOW! Thanks a whole lot, I'll test tomorrow. Seems like the best alternative.

Sorry for the delay, Karla, after extensive testings, I'm sticking with your first variant, the fantastic 348.01, for now. Dell 348.17 is overbright.

Again, thank you!

Hi all, after extensive testings, I'm still sticking with the fantastic 348.01 (pleasant colours), but it's not as good as it supposed to be.

Unfortunately, I'm experiencing terrible throttling on all drivers from Nvidia site and on all of the suggested above.

Looks like finding the original 348.12 is the only solution.

Just like it says  here.
