Official Nvidia.com site Drivers Template

Omniferum · November 3, 2010

Not sure why I felt like doing it but hey, I did so meh.

The below template will basically ask you for What Operating system you are using (from windows xp 32 to win7 x64) and whether or not it is a desktop/laptop/notebook. That's all ya need to do. The rest is maaaagic. Any troubles let me know, or general feedback is fine too.

FOR REFERENCE THIS IS ONLY FOR GEFORCE DRIVERS, which would account for 99% of people that I know/meet so enjoy.

Works nicely.Thanks.I already have alternative download from TechPowerUp(they update pretty fast).Atleast we can avoid FileHippo on this.

Hey, Omni...I modified your template to make it a bit kinder for the end-user. Have a look:

Im unable to import this xml to Ketarin.After i select the details i get a note.After clicking ok its blank and after another ok an error.

Can someone replicate this?.Not sure if it's due to 1.6b4?

Omniferum · January 16, 2011

I just copied n' pasted the code in the first post into my Ketarin, works fine for me.

You're using b4 too correct?

Don't know why is this? :S

Omniferum · January 17, 2011

No, I haven't updated to b4 yet. Still on b3, floele said he did a quick fix for b4 and it has been released twice so perhaps?

Tomorrow · January 17, 2011

No, I haven't updated to b4 yet. Still on b3, floele said he did a quick fix for b4 and it has been released twice so perhaps?

Hey-hey .Updated to the fixed b4 and it's working now

Intially i updated to the fixed b4 right away but i didn't test the import after that.Now that i did it seems to be working.Atleast importing the prototype template works.Im unable to import the one in online database tho(same error - problably brackets messed up there).As for the local ones - i can now import these too with no problem.

EDIT: You could use {refer1} in the website field as default in the template.It takes nicely to download page of the latest version.

Maybe this will help those who have older adapter, or who need a driver for other operating systems.

I apologize for the translation of Google.

Request Format:

http://www.nvidia.ru/Download/processDriver.aspx?psid=[value]&pfid=[value]&osid=[value]&lid=[value]〈=ru

psid - Index Series
pfid - index of the family
osid - index OS
lid - the index language

Steps:

Find the ID type of products from xml-specification at:
http://www.nvidia.ru/Download/API/lookupValueSearch.aspx?TypeID=1

Substitute the value found in the "ParentID" query on xml-specification product line at:
http://www.nvidia.ru/Download/API/lookupValueSearch.aspx?TypeID=2&ParentID=[value]
Obtain "psid".

Substitute the value "psid" in "ParentID" query on xml-specification product family at:
http://www.nvidia.ru/Download/API/lookupValueSearch.aspx?TypeID=3&ParentID=[value]
Obtain "pfid"

Find the ID of the operating system from the xml-spec at:
http://www.nvidia.ru/Download/API/lookupValueSearch.aspx?TypeID=4
Obtain "osid".

Find a language identifier of the xml-spec at:
http://www.nvidia.ru/Download/API/lookupValueSearch.aspx?TypeID=5
Obtain the "lid".

Example:

The answer to this query:
http://www.nvidia.ru/Download/processDriver.aspx?psid=1&pfid=5&osid=19&lid=16〈=ru

will link:
http://www.nvidia.ru/object/win7-winvista-64bit-270.61-whql-driver-ru.html

Treating it with a regex-expression was a link to download the necessary files installed graphics driver
Type GeForce 8 series, a family of 8600 Windows 7 x64 Russian version.

Omniferum could you add the Beta option next version?

I found out that it's possible to get the latest beta with a slightly modified template.

Existing users can add a new textual variable named whql with value:

whql=0

(0 means beta;1 means whql)

And you need to modify the refer1 variable website address to:

http://www.nvidia.com/Download/processFind.aspx?{whql}&{psid}&{pfid}&{osid}〈=en-us

And you're done.Now it always matches the latest Beta version.

Also perhaps add the option for the user to select Product Version (psid) like ION,nForce etc?

And obviously the whql/beta option.

EDIT:

Infact i made a modified template myself.Try it out now:
