Title: NVDIA GeForce 9400 GT latest version?
Post by: dthscyth on June 30, 2009, 03:36:32 PM

My video card version is 6.14.0011.8120. I'm using windows XP I just want to know the latest driver of GeForce 9400 GT. My problem is when I open "Left4Dead.exe" my monitor goes blank but the sound of the game is still there. Maybe the problem is the driver or the installation process. Any idea?

Who is the manufacturer of the video card?
Just because it's an NVIDIA chipset doesn't mean they do the driver for it.

Depends on the monitor, but it's possible. What's the model of the monitor and what resolution are you trying to use for the game?

I'd think CRT monitors or LCD monitors shouldn't matter, as long as it's decent brand. I think that my dad's 9 year old trinitron CRT monitor could probably handle L4D just fine. But let us know what you got first  :)

But the maximum resolution would only be 800x600 or 1024x768 on a CRT that  old.

Yeah, maybe a low resolution, the CRT my dad has is a 19" one  :P
