Thanks but I could never leave LTSC and get a Windows with all the crud MS forces on most users. But I did find I could live with the Windows 8 driver and fix the problems it gave with two SMALL tweaks. Firstly disable Transparency Effects (which I don't need anyway) which stops Win8 drivers making taskbar transparent for some bizarre reason and secondly in my Brave (Chromium) browser I had extension icons go semi visible. Disabling GPU Acceleration in browser fixes that Also modded the BIOS of my Quadro FX 5500 to undervolt from 1.4 to 1.3V reducing heat generated by 14% appx and reducing fan from 70% to 50% and overall reducing the temperatures by 1C. Now I have a GPU I can run DOS/98 through to Win10/11 on. My retrobox will do all that I want now (I have a gaming system separately with a decent CPU/GPU combo).

What about modding Win10 specific drivers like "341.92-desktop-win10-64bit-international" to add support for the removed hardware (6000/7000 series cards) back and seeing if that works?

Hi, running Win 10 LTSC2021 cos I dont want MS bloat and hacked Windows installs Would like to run either a Quadro FX 5500 (1GB) card or a Geforce 7600 GS (512MB) card and heard people claim they can but I get all sorts of driver artefacts if I use the Win8 drivers that allegedly work (last Nvidia drivers for these cards). Anyone got any ideas how to fix? Omores on YT suggests a Theme change to a different (as yet unnamed) theme fixes for him but still waiting to hear what its called. Wondering if anyone knows the answer?

Hi It's been suggested that Win8 drivers will work in Win10 for Geforce 7 series cards. I have a Quadro FX 5500 (same Curie series, G71 chip as 7900 GTX) but the Win8 driver for Quadro Version:R304 U8 (309.08) does not QUITE work. There is some blocks of display that show previous screens, transparent taskbar and other glitches (some icons disappear in my browser). I am wondering if those who claim the drivers work are using the Geforce drivers and wonder how I add my Quadro support to the Geforce driver and if anyone has knowledge of this issue?

Just installed my Quadro FX 5500 and found the last Win 8.1 drivers, 309.08,do NOT work properly in Win10 x64 BUT I think there may be a version of Windows 10 where MS changed something so I am asking if ANYONE knows when that would be?I'm using LTSC 2021 Win10 but would happily use LTSC 2019 Win10 if it works with this card. The idea of a machine I can run W98-2k-XP-10 on would be great, I can boot to 10 when I need to use internet (reasonably safely!) but otherwise use old OS

@ruthan do you still have this or a link or a pic of it? I'd like one!

Thanks, I've got the NVS440 now but there are so many patches to consider for W98. And I last used it in like 2000 :-)

Thanks, I also have the option of a Quadro NVS-440 which is a PCI-E card. OP says AGP but that's wrong (https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/quadro-nvs-440-pcie-x16.c1463) As this is a dual GPU card will it "just work" in W98?

Q: if Quadro FX 4500 is supported... does it just work as it has 512Mb ram and I hear that causes problems with Win98? And can I select resolutions above 1024x768?? Considering buying one for other reasons

I think YOU got confused here (not me!) thinking I wanted to flash card.. I was asking if the FX3700 being equivalent to 8800 GT would work in Win98 with the modded drivers. After all this thread IS about Win98. I said ALSO work with Win2k & XP... ALSO matters... read the words. And despite your "Wow! Think thrice before helping someone." pathetic comment I have NOT blamed you. I just expressed the confusion between you apparently saying Win98 would work (you were not, you were talking about flashi g!!) and the other poster saying it won't despite the thread saying it will. I'm a big boy and dont care if I wasted 20 bucks on a hobby. But please, "think thrice" about confusing the issues!

So what @Dixel said is wrong? I've spent the money now but if Dixel can confirm... and if you are sure these DONT work then surely a Mod should fix the damn thread so nobody else wastes money buying them??

LOL... I was considering flashing to 8800GT from 3700 (just bought a 3700 on eBay) for the higher clocks but probably better just take the 3700 and BIOS mod for the overclock if the FX3700 works in MacOS as is.... its also compatible with AROS (Amiga-like OS)

FX3700 = 8800 GT so would be fine? Also would serve multi purpose as could use it for 2K, XP and old Hackintosh OS from 10.5 Leopard thru to 10.13 High Sierra in my KVM host with PCIE passthru

8 and 9 series are both Tesla so would these work on 9 series cards (a Quadro FX 1800 is very similar to a GF 9600 GT) ?? Or do they need INF edits?

Thanks @Dibya for the reply. @jaclaz I'm a native English speaker and your reply to me came across as a bit clumsy and rude to Dibya. I get your point but IMHO there are nicer ways to say it BUT I don't have any interest in an argument over it
