Just wanted to create some awareness that I have created a 368.81 driver backport with pascal and hbr3/HDMI 2.0 support. I named it Forceware 382.69 as a tip of the hat to the win98 82.69 driver. Mobile and 1030 GPU aren't supported.

Enjoy!

Good job. But why was the driver version "368.81" (from 2016-07-11) chosen as the basis, rather than its more recent version "368.91" (368.91-espresso-icafe-winxp-international.exe) from 2016-07-18? Or is it a build from these two versions? The files in them even differ in size, and perhaps some new features have been added in "91", bugs have been fixed, or some other improvements have been made?

The attachment NV81NV91.PNG is no longer available

And is the new driver suitable for working in PAE mode with large amounts of RAM (XP x86 + PatchPae) or in Windows Server 2003 (which supports PAE out of the box)? If I remember correctly, PAE support was already broken in the latest driver versions.

Downloaded, Got a Titan X, Titan Xp and a P6000 24Gb ready to test this out !

I wonder what XP will make of a 24Gb GPU.

Never heard of that version. As far as I know 368.81 was the last official version Nvidia released. All the changes I made are documented so feel free to fork the repo with that version as base. I've never had any issues with the 368.81 driver personally.

Let me know I used a P4000 and 1080ti to build it so I'd love to see a Titan card on it.

Interesting! Especially for XP/7 dual boots!

I read the readme, but could not determine if this driver fixed the issues with custom resolutions, aspect ratios/gpu scaling, and detecting monitors as televisions. As a result of these issues, many use the 355.98 driver. Do you know if these issues were fixed?

Has anyone tried using it?

Just as a PSA I'm not affiliated with the x64 fork. I've never tried it and I have no clue what was changed from mine.
