It has finally been done! Originally, SupraGSX on GitHub patched the XP x86 version of the driver, and then a day later jonathanwei1994-hub patched the x64 version, however when I originally tested it on my machine, it had done a 0xBE BSOD, so EAZY BLACK over on Discord patched the nv4_mini.sys, and here we go!

This system has an AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7970X, GTX 1080 Ti, and 64GB RAM.

I am still going to do some more testing, but it seems like 3D acceleration fully works, as well as the control panel. I didn't test the HD audio driver yet, but I think it should most likely work. I also didn't test the original 32 bit driver yet, but from what I understand it works as well.

Also, high refresh rate monitors seem to work as well; I can set my main monitor to 3840x1080 at 144hz and it works!

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?

If this works without flaws/ full 3d acceleration then we are talking about revolutionary news. The thought of having an ultimate xp/7 machine with a 1080 ti (the ultimate raster era gpu and probably the goat of gpus) is exciting. Please keep us informed for any developments and / or give us some benchmarks if possible!
