A small node application to find the latest Nvidia GPU drivers for a specified GPU and OS. It is based on:
Table of Contents:
Available functions :
import { get_driver_link, get_driver_details, get_gpus, get_os, parse_os } from "../libs/nvidia-utils.mjs";
get_gpus() // retrieve a list of GPU IDs
get_os() // retrieve a list of OS IDs
// retrieve a driver ID and the download URL
get_driver_link(
{
pfid : "782", // platform ID, 782 - GeForce GTX 950 (defult)
osid : "57", // os ID, 57 - Windows 10 (defult)
exception : "No certified downloads were found for this configuration.", // Message displaied on Nvidia portal if search failed. Returns false if true (defult)
}
);
// Output:
// {
// url: 'driverResults.aspx/194380/en-us',
// id: '194380'
// }
// retrieve a driver version and the reliese date
get_driver_details(
id // driver ID to fetch details e.g. '194380'
);
// Output:
// {
// version: '526.98',
// release_date: '2022.11.16'
// }
// parse OS details to a JS Object:
parse_os();

// os_version: 'Enterprise',
// buildID: '10.0.18363',
// release: '18362.19h1_release.190318-1202'
// }The repository also includes a script to create a device-ids.mjs file, listing all available GPU and OS options.
$ node run get-device-list
# The script is located at libs/generate-device-lists.js
# A new file will be created in the same folder
# libs/device-ids.mjs
#
# const lists = {
# gpu : { desktop : [], notebook : [] },
# os : []
# }
#
# export default lists
# import Lists from './libs/device-ids.mjs'
#
# const {
# gpu : pfids,
# os : osids
# } = Lists;
Examples below use information from a DxDiag file as input. It can be, however, replaced with a simple dropdown/s on the front-end.
