SUPPORTED HARDWARE
The nv driver supports PCI, PCI-Express and AGP video cards
based on the following NVIDIA chips:
RIVA 128 NV3
RIVA TNT NV4
RIVA TNT2 NV5
GeForce 256, QUADRO NV10
GeForce2, QUADRO2 NV11 & NV15
GeForce3, QUADRO DCC NV20
nForce, nForce2 NV1A, NV1F
GeForce4, QUADRO4 NV17, NV18, NV25, NV28
GeForce FX, QUADRO FX NV30, NV31, NV34, NV35, NV36, NV37, NV38
GeForce 6XXX NV40, NV41, NV43, NV44, NV45, C51
GeForce 7XXX G70, G71, G72, G73
The nv driver is "alleged" to work with 7000-series cards, but it has
issues on my systems with a 7800 GT and typically, an nforce 4 chipset
Asus motherboard. I have never successfully gotten it to work in that
combination. The vesa driver works, but...meh. I choose to use the
Nvidia closed driver because it works well and has few hassles. I have
no reason to believe than Nvidia will cripple that driver in the future.
I will worry about that problem when it happens. Until then, I'm happy.
GeForce 8XXX G80, G84, G86, G92
