Default Updating graphics drivers?

So, I need to update my graphics drivers so Dragon Age: Origins will run properly, but I can't remember how to do it for the life of me. I checked the NVidia website, but my video card isn't on the list of products on the website. I'm using an NVidia QuadroFX Go700, but the closest thing I can find is NVidia QuadroFX 700 on the list.

So yeah, stupid person needs help here.

I dunno, you could try the automatic detect or their ''Driver robot'' (well they're pretty much the same though)

even with the latest driver, you won't run games "like they should" on a Quadro Graphics card

on top of that, your card it's too freaking old, you simply won't run Dragon age, period

Well, in the Dragon Age: Origins Config file it said my drivers are out of date so the game won't run properly. And ingame I couldn't see the text and the framerate was choppy.

here are the MINIMUN requirements for dragon age


Minimum System Requirements
OS: Windows XP SP3/Vista SP1
Processor: Intel Core 2 DUO @ 1.4 GHz/AMD Athlon64 X2 @ 1.8 GHz
Memory: 1 GB
Hard Drive: 20 GB Free
Video Memory: 128 MB (nVidia GeForce 6600/ATI Radeon X850)
Sound Card: DirectX Compatible
DirectX: 9.0c


so, unless you have either of those Graphics card you simply won't run dragon age:origins, heck the nvidia Quadro FX 700 it's more than 3 years old, no ammount of drivers could allow you to run the game

The FX 700 is from 2003 and the chip equals that of the FX5600. It won't run and if it does, you'll miss alot of features and have very shitty fps.

In beta & archived drivers on the nvidia site. I don't think you have vista, so I took the xp link.

I have no problems running other games, and my video card is 128 MB so it meets the requirements.
