Dont know what video card this is and I need drivers

[subconcept]

I built a computer for a friend on a ECS K7S5A and a Duron 900 and Im using my friends old parts till he gets new ones. They came fromm his old celeron 366 and I know the video card supports 32 bit true color but windows detects it as a normal pci card and only allows me to display 16 bit color untill i install the right drivers. I thought about getting the nvidia detonator drivers but im not sure that would work, i know thats what i did for my diamond viper v770 32mb and it did cause it detected it as a tnt2 but i dont know where to get thhe drivers for this.

It says Cirrus Logic GL-GD5465 HG-C on it.

Any Ideas?

if its an nvidia gpu then download the detonators... all chipsets are supported in one download:D

[RainMaQer]

Is that all that the gpu says on it?

Also says on another part Holtek ht27c512-70

Here's a set of generic drivers for the gpu.

My understanding is that Cirrus didn't make cards, but only supplied chipsets. Any other information you can give us about the card would be helpful. Look at the board itself and see if you can find any identifying marks. If you've got a digital camera, take a picture and let us have a look.

Here are some other links you might find helpful

Yey! Thanks alot! Really appreciate all the help. I thought there would be no way to track down the drivers. Working fine now.

The Holtek is an eeprom chip. Look on the board itself, not on the chips.
