    Hey, I see you guys have saved lots of lives here and I can't hold myself back of asking a help for myself. I've this second pc which was working just fine with cuda but then they stopped supporting Fermi GPU's and now whatever I do it's like there is a dead GPU inside the notebook. Saddest part is I was using this pc and I know its computing power could help me on extra render or cnn training works.
    Do you think this modding thing could be a solution to this situation? Like just to fool the softwares with the fake driver version but keep working with the standalone one... I don't know it's out of my scope. Thank all you guys in advance!

    Current working driver version:391.35
    Needed version:425.xx
    W10 x64

    Hello cyberdyne

    I needed your help. I tried the website you listed but I can’t find any drivers there that will work for me

    can you create an inf for a gt720m that comes with a dell rugged 7404 please?

    if youre looking for using the newest released driver with this card, that wont work.. this Card isnt supported anymore in the new Drivers. And adding the string wouldnt help really..

    so, from looking a bit the latest driver with you GPU supported is this one:
    425.31

    Its also stated in the PDF of the release notes form Nvidia. (newest drivers) on site 35.

    i dont think there is a way to use an up to date driver with your GPU..
    if this is what you wanted? i might have understood you wrong..

    You mea
    thanks for the reply. Actually, I wanted any driver that worked on windows xp x64 for a dell notebook GTX 720m and if someone already has the modded inf for that one or if anyone could help mod it and pass the inf for me.
    I can’t get the inf modification correct

    there is no fermi driver code in 471, a 630 using the GF architecture will not work with inf modding, nor can you force a 540m to operate on fermi by forcing it to install as a kepler 630.

    one of my cousin has a gt930m using sketchup and vray kind of programs so i advised him using studio driver instead geforce ready but later i realized no studio driver support for 9XX and below gpus.. i modded the 472.47 used this combo below in proper places but FAIL.. is it possible to do this ?
    NVIDIA_DEV.1346 = "NVIDIA GeForce GTX 930m"
    %NVIDIA_DEV.1346% = Section002, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_1346

    this is the full id with sub PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_1346&SUBSYS_F8421179 if someone would try to make it appreciated thnx

    Hello guys

    Does this still work?

    https://archive.techarp.com/showarticlec4df.html?artno=539&pgno=2

    Page states I need Rivatuner but I can't find it in the downloads section.

    I need to softmod a 970 to Quadro4000 to test something.

    Edit: found the 2.0rc15 one but it doesn't work on W11.

    Edit2: found 224 but the settings in the pictures are not exposed.

    If I manage to install a Geforce driver on a Quadro (RTX 4000 Mobile), is there a chance that G-Sync/Freesync will become available?

    If those features are implemented by drivers only - do not require hardware and firmware support - then probably will.

    So this is interesting. I installed the GRD 579.11 driver using nvcleanstall. To make g-sync available, I had to enable it on the monitor, and then it worked. I also found that DSR was now available.
    I then moved back to the Quadro driver, even with clean install, and both are still available. So maybe G-Sync works on Quadros out of the box nowadays anyway...

    Cyberdyne, you don't know what you've done... thank you! I'm in a unique pickle and your guide fix the problem for me. Might be of some use to others, so here goes the details. I have an older Kepler based Quadro mobile GPU, the K3100M and driver support has ended a couple of years ago. Windows 11 running the newest drivers from 2020 (426.78) mostly works ok except for strange transparency/flashing issues and labels for clickable buttons are invisible (GUI buttons in the OS has no text so you can't tell what they are). The missing text on the buttons is supposedly an issue with older drivers and it's been fixed since W11 release for cards that are still supported by Nvidia.

    Now normally, newer drivers won't help since it's about missing code for the obsolete architecture but in this case, Nvidia is still supporting Kepler Quadro desktop GPUs until Jan 31, 2023. Nothing to lose so searched for a Kepler based desktop card like the K4200 and modded the newest drivers (473.47 - May 2022). Everything works great, including extra features like 30 bit support and frame limiting!

    Cyberdyne, you da man. Thank you again.

    I need to ensure nvidia driver working on 1709 with ampere cards (3070 specifically), before I buy one.

    Can someone here try the following and can confirm or negate it?

    Instructions from tpu:
    • Use NVCleanstall to unpack the driver
    • When the Tweaks page is visible, go to %LocalAppData%\Temp\NVCleanstall\Display.Driver and edit the correct inf file by choosing the correct the acronym eg NVGBD.INF = Gigabyte, NVMD.INF =MSI etc. (don't close NVCleanstall)
      Change
      [Manufacturer]
      %NVIDIA_A% = NVIDIA_Devices,NTamd64.10.0...14393,NTamd64.10.0...17098

      [NVIDIA_Devices.NTamd64.10.0...14393]

      [NVIDIA_Devices.NTamd64.10.0...17098]
      to
      [Manufacturer]
      %NVIDIA_A% = NVIDIA_Devices,NTamd64.10.0,NTamd64.10.0

      [NVIDIA_Devices.NTamd64.10.0]

      [NVIDIA_Devices.NTamd64.10.0]
    • Pick the remove telemetry option under expert tweaks (or any expert tweak), which will rebuild the digital signature
    • Install the driver
