Firstly, you are very rude and there is no reason to be so. Secondly, I as many most from my experience. If you bothered to research who people are then you would know that when I am talking about running software on XP that I am unlikely to be talking about games. There are, in fact other and better reasons why users may wish to continue with XP other than waste their lives playing old games. Thirdly, I have managed to get a 1030 running on XP, we do happen to know when a card is only running compatibility mode. It was rubbish, probably not helped because 10xx cards are rubbish. Fourthly, have you seen the cost of a second-hand GTX980ti, you can get new 1660s cheaper. Why would you want to do that now, this post was started more than 5 years ago when 10xx card actually mattered. If you want to grasp my interestest, tell me that you got a 16xx or 20xx running on XP. I am sure there are many users reading these post thinking "Could I do it, I mean get 10xx working on XP" and the answer is yes, and somebody already probably did. Was it any good? Was it good enough to justify building an installer package etc etc , Am I going to get paid ? Is it worth it when I can get something good for a fraction of the read-world cost. Read what people have written here, they are clever guys. But finally, don't be rude. That is never going to get you the answers you want.
