Try this wiki....they talk about different drivers for different Nvidia cards...according to this wiki Nvidia still has drivers for very old (workaround) to very new cards...
http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Nvidia#Selecting_the_nVidia_Driver_Version
According to them your card should work:
Quote: |
The nvidia-drivers package supports the full range of available nVidia cards. Multiple versions are available for installation, depending on the card(s) you have.
Newer cards such as the GeForce 8, 7 and 6 series should use the newer drivers from the 200.x series.
Older cards such as GeForce FX 5 series and related Quadro FX cards require the 173.x drivers. For these cards, you should mask >=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-180.00 in your /etc/portage/package.mask file.
Older cards such as the GeForce 3 or GeForce 4 and related Quadro4 and some Quadro2 series require the 96.x drivers. For these cards, you should mask >=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-97.00 in your /etc/portage/package.mask file. This will prevent newer versions of the driver which are incompatible with your card from being installed.
Old NV2x-based cards (such as TNT, TNT2, GeForce, GeForce 2, Quadro and Quadro2) require the older 71.x drivers (such as nvidia-drivers-71.86.01). For these cards, you should mask >=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-87.00 in /etc/portage/package.mask.
