...kepler being actually faster than maxwell with these old XP drivers...
I don't know about that but for me that is less important than the fact that Nvidia Profile Inspector wasn't working in 352.86 which makes 980 Ti not really usable there.
You have a very nice battlestation. Especially the "beige side". That is one high-end CRT right there!

I tried a Quadro K2200 with .inf-modded GeForce driver v368.81. There were extra options in the control panel, including AA of up to 64x.
Thanks for the info, I think I have only seen 64x on SLIed cards so far (but SLI is usuable only for a cinematic non-interactive experience). I think I have some old Quadro card around.

Add an old mid-high end quadro in the system alongside the 980 Ti if you have one. Install Quadro drivers and sometimes that unlocks the higher AA for all cards.
Not sure if it persists if you remove the quadro but leave the quadro drivers installed.
Interesting idea. I think I still have some old Quadro card around here (FX1300?), maybe that will do the trick. I will try it later.
I did some more testing of digital interface on 368.81 with 980 Ti:
60Hz PC LCD monitor over single-link DVI
- no color issues
- NOT able to set custom resolutions, the option is greyed out
- it is detected as SDTV (Standard Definition TV), you can tell by the "Connector" options which only show "S-Video" or "Composite".
60Hz PC LCD monitor over dual-link VGA (analog signal) (the same monitor as above)
- No color issues
- ABLE to set custom resolutions, the option is NOT greyed out
- Image is a little blurry but that is to be expected with analog signal (I don't mind personally)
- Able to create and correctly resolve 85Hz (panel is rated at 60Hz!) custom resolutions (but not at native resolution, must be like 40% smaller)
60Hz LCD HDTV over HDMI
- No color issues
- ABLE to set custom resolutions, the option is NOT greyed out
- 1440x1080p working
- In NVCP there are still no scaling options at all (with or without using custom resolutions)
- I was able to set settings on the TV to not stretch non-widescreen resolutions (1440x1080p) but instead use normal 1:1 pixel mapping. Stretching 4:3 could be done to maintain aspect ratio.
- 16:10 resolutions were negatively stretched (the TV is 16:9), even when set to map pixels normally 1:1. Resolutions of 16:9 and 4:3 were fine in this regard.
edit: small updates, gotten 1440x1080p to work in the "60Hz LCD HDTV over HDMI" after all. Just had to first switch to 1920x1080p mode in the TV section of resolutions in NVCP. (The "PC" version of the same res did not work on the TV at all).
