If you need specific cards for testing/tweaking, just ask. Lots of people have piles of the old GeForces and can easily provide you with whatever you require for testing.

Let me know if I can help you with any tests with the GT1030.

This adds GT1030 experimental support and should fix your bsod on kepler. It won't give higher pixel clocks. I'll look into that in the future. Let me know if it works for you.

The Forceware-382.69-2026-10-17 driver installs correctly on the GT1030:

Just as info: still getting BSOD 7E with the GT730. It's absolutely not a priority. You can move it to the bottom of your to-do list.

Thanks a lot!!! 😉

Please try this build if you get a chance it should fix all your issues. Includes p620 support and increased pixel clocks on fermi-maxwell 1 cards as well as the BSOD fix.

I tested the Forceware.382.69.10-21-2026 build with the following cards:

Quadro P620 @ 3840 x 2160
https://ibb.co/Kc6kDjKj

Quadro K2000 @ 3840 x 2160
https://ibb.co/KcytpjVh

GT730 @ 2560 x 1440
https://ibb.co/vCcm2kXj

Thankssss!!

I wonder if anyone can fix the UI scaling in XP .. Id love to use it at 2160p but good god that scaling is terrible for old eyes that cannot catch a break.

Even with win11 I use it at 150% scaling otherwise its unreadable without magnifying glasses.

AI is inevitable, there is nothing you can do to stop it, no Ironman snap to save you from the Basilisk.

By the time you told me the P2200 wouldn't work, I had already ordered it off ebay.

Dell-branded Quadro P2200 (PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_1C31&SUBSYS_131B1028&REV_A1), Dell OptiPlex 7010, XP SP3 32-bit, single GPU.

All three install cleanly and match the card, but the card fails to start and XP falls back to VgaSave:

382.69 (10-6-2026)
382.69 (10-19-2026), clean install
10-19 with the GP106 FECS/GPCCS/graphics archive swapped to the 431.02 set from your Oct 10–11 experiment (ACR/SEC2 unchanged): Code 10

So newer GR firmware alone doesn’t get past it. Could this be an ACR/SEC2 version check, like the GP102 status 0x23 case? Happy to test builds and send logs.

I attached the setuppapi.log

EDIT: I'm working on this with Claude and ChatGPT. I'm on my 13th try. Narrowed it down and made some progress today.

Will these drivers work with older cards too? Like a 780ti? I'm considering installing my 1080ti to my existing XP machine and was wondering if I could just install the drivers first and then swap out the cards...

Since its a newer NVidia driver there should be no upgrade issues with previously having run the 780ti right? I don't want to rebuild my library within XP again.

Yes, these drivers improve the available resolutions and hz on the older graphics cards like the 780 Ti. The DP on the those cards has more bandwidth than the drivers take advantage of. SupraGSX's driver allows those cards to take full advantage of the hardware.

Great work! This inspired me to build a long awaited Windows XP retro PC.

I'm running the Forceware 382.69 (10-21-2026) drivers ans having strange issues with seemingly random black screen drop outs at times while running 2560 x 1440 at 144hz. Sometimes on the desktop briefly and other times when playing games.

My system is running the following:
I7 3770k
Asus maximus v gene
4 x Kingston DDR3 2400 @ CL10
MSI GTX 1080 ti Gaming X
27 inch Benq 1440p 144hz monitor.

Does it drop out and recover like you're losing video signal? Or just go black? Does audio continue? Are you connected via HDMI or DisplayPort?

The 10-26 version has some HDMI fixes that may help.

I don't think the p2200 ever got a 32 bit driver so there's probably nothing to backport. So getting it to work is probably a no go. I'll look at the log though. Sorry for the inconvenience.

No problem, I've been hammering it with Claude and ChatGPT working together. 19th try running right now. Claude says we've got a 50% chance of getting it working 🤣.

Worst case, I buy a quadro P4000, and carefully use an angle grinder to make it fit.

Awesome! If you get it working please share it and I'll integrate it into Forceware 382.69 so others can enjoy it aswell

Yes, thanks I noticed the new version so tried installing it.
So I've updated to the 26/10/26 drivers and I'm still getting the black screens. Definitely seems like it's the video signal dropping out. I'm running hdmi to my monitor.

Some testing seems to be that Unigene heaven 4.0 runs okay at 1080p in dx9 mode but did crash upon exit with a "nv4_disp display driver has stopped working normally" error and the resolution dropping to about 320x240 before locking up the system and requiring a hard reset.

Opengl doesn't seem stable at all. Unigene heaven crashes in Opengl mode within a few seconds, shows a black screen then comes back showing grey and stops responding.
Doom 3 at 2560x1440 60hz crashed during the in-game intro. I didnt have time to test it further.

With my desktop resolution at 2560x1440 at 144hz, MyPal web browser seems to run okay for a few minutes then periodically cause video dropouts. Strange thing is that if i alt tab to an open explorer window the black screens stop (even though mypal is viewable behind it). As soon as I click back onto mypal the black screens start flickering on/off again.

The drivers clearly aren't perfect yet but it's a miracle they work as well as they do! Keep up the good work!

It was doing that to me on a 1060GTX on Windows 7 a while back, I was just trying to give the card a quick test and assumed it was some windows files out of date, didn't dig into it.

Unicorn herding operations are proceeding, but all the totes of hens teeth and barrels of rocking horse poop give them plenty of hiding spots.
