This is if you use universal dgVoodooCpl, but for many games there are separate patches and usually they work in XP, or there is universal uniws, it supports many games. And games that take the resolution from the driver can work at any resolution, for example I played CS 1.6 and UT 99 at 4k resolution on XP. But for some reason in Win 7 they support maximum 1920x1080. I use MPC-BE, I like it better for track control and chapter rewind. I've never used Vista, I always have either XP or 7, so I don't know such nuances.

I know it's already been answered there. But I didn't have time today to check if this parameter helps.

Oh, they updated the installer, it now has a digital signature for 2021. My installer is old and not digitally signed, I downloaded it back in 2013 and it works in XP. I can upload the old installer if you need it. But there are a lot of good games on DX9, you can even say most of them, I don't like the new games, with few exceptions.

@D.Draker Tested it on a powerful computer. Core i7 3770K overclocked to 4.4GHz, 16GB DDR3 RAM overclocked to 2133MHz.

No, the 960 and 950 came out later than all the other 900 series video cards. And specifically the GTX950 was released in August 2015, and driver 347.90 was made in March 2015, so it's not surprising that the 950 isn't in it. The brightness hasn't changed. Neither in the system nor in the video. Although I still switch the color settings to full range (0-255) out of habit.

By the way, I've noticed one problem on all drivers. DXVA Checker reports that there is DXVA2 support for h265-10bit codec, but hardware acceleration works only for h265-8bit. On Win 7 h265-10bit works.

Yeah, it's really weird, if it might not have been in the 347 driver, the 950 came out after the 960, why was it removed in 372.73. No, I didn't notice any difference in driver performance, but I haven't tested in games, I think in real games this CPU will be a weak point, so a more powerful CPU is needed.

Again why no GTX950, so installed as 960.

I didn't notice any system slowdown after the upgrade, Vista itself is slower than Win 7, especially with that processor. I only done defragmentation because the OS is installed on HDD. But although I only have the minimum set of programs installed, if I install everything I use, maybe it will get slower, but once again I don't want to reinstall and check without updates, the installation was long.

Tested the driver 372.60 on the Athlon. In terms of minimum FPS it has the highest of all.

Yeah, I've seen that too, but there's no way I've been able to replicate it. Maybe it's not as noticeable on lower end video cards, but I don't have a high end video card to find out.

You're welcome. Although I'm not an expert on Vista, more on XP and 7, I still follow it and collect drivers, updates and programs. Glad to be of help. By the way, I noticed that the icons and buttons on MSFN are not showing up, you need to install Fontawesome fonts, then the icons will show up. https://fontawesome.com/v4/assets/font-awesome-4.7.0.zip

Did a driver test, in the Unigine Valley benchmark. Driver 347 does not support GTX950, so I set it as GTX960. As a result, in DX9 and DX11 modes the difference in fps was within the margin of error. The processor is weak, dual-core Athlon, but so far I have no opportunity to test with a more powerful processor.

When the driver is there, but I only gave the inf stub, there is no sys file there, look at the contents of the inf, there are sections just to add the correct device name, nothing else. Such fps, it's rare after all. And monitors that support that many Hz are even rarer for those who don't have Win10. And I think it's marketing at all, the human eye can't see more than 85-100 Hz.

No, the device can't work. I can, for example, make the same plug for the network card, and it will appear to be installed, but of course it will not work. If it worked like that, you could "make" drivers for any device on any OS. Intel ME works at the BIOS level, so it doesn't matter if there is a driver in the OS or not, or even if the OS is installed at all, the motherboard receives signals directly from the network card. But without a driver at least from the OS you can't access, for example, programs.

PCI-controller, I realized, there the necessary IDs only for 7+, I added for all, so the driver signature is gone, when during the installation will write that the driver is not verified, click "install this driver anyway". https://mega.nz/file/rrh0iQYZ#OuPCI6IaqzoFi2jF95PPu6zl9cbJ5yaoewuOTp0OMaQ On the network card my drivers didn't install at all, because you can see that the system driver is installed, maybe it has a newer date so the system thinks it's the most appropriate. So try installing the driver in fully manual mode: ПКМ на сетевой карте - Обновить драйверы... - Выполнить поиск драйверов на этом компьютере - Выбрать драйвер из списка... - Установить с диска. Дальше указать inf файл драйвера. Try TP-Link_6.250.0908.2011 driver first, if it doesn't install, try another driver. If both fail to install, take screenshots of the error. This is Vista after all, it might be a bit different here, I'll check the performance later. I'm not giving drivers, I'm giving plugs that make it so the Device Manager doesn't show non-installed devices, but there is no driver as such.

Found all the drivers, for the chipset all drivers are just inf stubs anyway, so should install without problems. I found two drivers for the network card on Vista, they are both from TP-Link, but they should work, it uses a realtek chip anyway. First try TP-Link_6.250.0908.2011 driver, it is newer and the network card will be called simply "Gigabit PCI Express Network Adapter" with no brand name. https://mega.nz/file/6zoXSCCS#MOEY53F1KIDeJhG53P2euw8zKVvOyh8KhXbAn_v4XSA Try installing the 365.19 driver on your video card through Device Manager.

The nv_desktop_ref4i.inf has a very small list of video cards, for example my 950 is not there. The main part of video cards is in nv_dispi.inf, but almost all IDs there have no SUBSYS section, so a suitable ID will be found there.

Yes, need more information about the video card, who is its manufacturer. Maybe the video card was bought in China and a laptop GPU was installed there instead of a desktop GPU, but the ID was changed to the usual one. I have even met such video cards.

USB try this driver, I have it working on my Z77 chipset on Vista. https://mega.nz/file/v7gFiALD#3WjTHP0Mx7idmuJ38SfUjkRC7epYR-3B3KTAUjQmMDo Video driver is not clear why it is not installed, I have GTX950 (PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_1402) and driver 365.19 was installed by the installer without errors. What if you unzip the driver and install the driver through device manager? Also, what is the letter of the system disk, WinNTsetup sometimes assigns a different letter than C, and because of this some programs have errors.

It installed on Vista, but on startup it gives the error "Unable to start virtual machine". Virtualization is enabled in BIOS, the computer meets the requirements.

The miracle didn't happen.

I've only used the drivers from WU a few times, but there were always problems, like OpenGL was a low version, or there was no OpenCL/CUDA, or DXVA didn't work. But my video cards were older, maybe back then drivers were just made to work.

Thank you. Everything is fine here, everything is supported, which it should be.
