This is the magic decoder ring web page.  The most recent cards that

stopped a while ago at 340 I think.  If your card just stopped

working it is probably a GK* variant card.

But some models have 2 generations of chips.

I gave up on NVidia video a long time ago, and this is one of the
things that bugs me about having cards that *could* be used, but if
only you could figure out how to do it:

*It's* the damn computer, why should *we* have to figure out which
driver to install?

Either they could have one large package with everything it needs to
install the one that you do (somewhat akin to CUPS, though I know it
doesn't have absolutely everything within itself).  Or, they could have
a detector package which surveys your graphics hardware and picks the
right driver package to download and install.
