geforce 8400

About this tag
The GeForce 8400 GS is an older NVIDIA graphics card that users have reported issues with in dual-monitor setups and Windows 8 compatibility. One user found that driver versions 295.73 and later reversed monitor numbering and broke dual display functionality on a card with a DMS-59 connector, while older drivers worked. Another user experienced garbled video when trying to install Windows 8 Release Preview with a GeForce 8400, though Linux distributions worked fine. The card was also mentioned in a thread about a mouse problem in Windows 7, where upgrading to the GeForce 8400 did not resolve the issue. These reports highlight driver-related challenges and compatibility concerns with this legacy GPU.
