IIRC, Windows 7 and 8 don't support VRR. Doesn't matter if you have an Nvidia or AMD card. If you want to us Gsync on Windows 7 you'll need an Nvidia card and a monitor with the module. I don't see an obstacle here it's really not that big of a deal (especially if you've never used it), if you have …

In the case of the drivers that are the necessary part for the hardware to work correctly and the software that accompanies them and that are only useful for the hardware for which they were created, it could be said that they are directly linked. That is to say, if you don't have, for example, a …

Sigh posting on phone, this is the correct post. It makes sense if you were aware of how allowing said links affects the forum. As for Google they remove or prevent links ftom showing up on their search engine on request.

The thread that got closed was somebody asking for Dr. Sbaitso which was made by Creative and was only ever provided with the install disks for some of their ISA sound cards. Those driver disk images are available on Vogonsdrivers, for whatever that's worth. Simply put: If a letter *does not* …

There are ways to disable the driver signing or to mod the drivers so that they are signed if they weren't or the signature is invalid. The number of people using XPDM drivers on Windows 7 has always been very low so don't expect many replies, you'll need to test for yourself.

You can install XPDM drivers on Windows 7, Windows 7 is last Windows OS to support them. Aero won't work but you can then use full screen NTVDM if you want.

Abandonware does not exist. If you wish to share links to copyrighted software there are plenty of methods available that do not require public posts and are not moderated. If you want vogons to change that stance then you'll need to write a very large check so that all aspects of such a change can …

Re-opened on the (possibly mistaken) understanding that "Dr. Sbaitso" is a demo of functionality and not a game and that distribution of said product is typically not an issue for so called "trafficking" aka downloading or uploading. So I've been trying to find dr. Sbaitso to download it. I tried to …

So GPU passthrough works great but I discovered that USB passthrough would cause the host to PSOD so I ended up just passing through the keyboard and mouse instead of the USB controller. IF PASSTHROUGH FOR USB CONTROLLERS CRASHES ESX THEN DO THE FOLLOWING TO ONLY PASSTHROUGH THE KEYBOARD AND MOUSE …
