Is a Gforce 2 the same as the 200?

[Metspitzer]

I have a video card and the only thing I can make out is cgts2a.
I could get someone with better eyes if I had to have someone, but
googling for cgts2a gets
http://www.google.com/search?q=cgts...s=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a

Would the driver for the card be at NVIDIA for the 200?

Driver development for some cards, was frozen a long time ago.
The cards may not even be listed in the Nvidia search
engine.

For example, I have several FX5200 cards, and Nvidia has "raised
the bar", so the 6200 is the lowest card they issue new drivers
for.

For info on video cards, I use this for relatively modern stuff.

I use this for older cards. This is a Polish site, that used
to keep stats for cards. I would expect to find your
Geforce 2 GTS there. Apparently the card supports DX 7
in hardware.

Nvidia, on their download page, has a "driver scanner" option,
which will scan the PC with the target video card present.
But I don't know what is it going to do, when it finds a
Geforce 2 GTS. The results may be no more illuminating than
the contents of the search web page.

I can find your card in the "Products Supported" list of this driver.

Version: 71.89
Release Date: April 14, 2005
WHQL Certified

I found that, by walking backwards through the archive here.
