old i386 nvidia-driver laptop now no X

in 2019 it ran fine, now nvidia-driver needs amd64. I don't want anyone to give this post much heed, just wondering if anyone else encountered the same and 1... has a similar laptop running on a numbered older nvidia-driver or 2... runs it on another driver such as vesa... [ it still runs wifi good, running v14 kludgily updated from 13 current if I recall... ]
 
What NVidia card? The old 390 version is still available for i386. 470 and the latest versions are amd64 only.
