Hi, The OpenGL issue with the 17.10.1 driver can be solved by using an older version of the atioglxx.dll file located in C:/Windows/SysWOW64. I'm not particularly sure why this issue happens, the most I know is that it's simply just in that file and it crashes in DrvPresentBuffers. I replaced the DLL file with the atioglxx.dll found in the 13-12_winvista_64_dd_ccc_whql driver and it seems to work perfectly, although I'm sure there's a newer version that works. Attached is an image of a benchmark software that came up online for an application that tests OpenGL 4, running on an RX 570 on Windows Vista.

I wasn't able to get each of the ones you sent to display properly without the limitation. Sorry!

Hi, thanks for the suggestions again. I figured out the answer! Turns out this entire time a kind person named Yas had figured out that yes, the limitations that cause the issues I was facing are linked directly to bandwidth and found a way to patch the nvidia 355.98 driver. It was posted in the comments the whole time. Oh well! This arbitrary limitation is in fact a hard coded value and can be modified to match the spec of what the card can actually support. I'll quote the instructions given to modify the driver: This is tested to work, and fully unlocks the capability of my monitor on Windows XP. Thanks everyone for your suggestions over the past year, very happy to say that a solution has finally been found.

Hi, it's been a year and I finally picked up the motivation to try this setup again. I understand that the combination of an old GPU and a modern monitor isn't exactly the most beautiful thing to set up but it's just what I have at my convenience and it would be pleasant to have a monitor like this at its full capacity on this older machine especially knowing that it is capable of it. Regardless, here's what I've come up with: I installed Vista, and after some tinkering I was able to achieve the full capacity of my display, 1920x1080@165Hz. This I believe narrows the issue down to not being the monitor or the cable used to connect it to my computer. (For the sake of transparency, I am connected to a DVI port on the GTX 460 through an HDMI <-> DVI adapter.) I then took a picture of the monitor configuration settings that were functional in vista and went to attempt to replicate the same custom resolution setup on windows xp. This resulted in my monitor producing an input not supported error. These tests were done with the 355.98 nvidia driver. What piqued my interest about this is in the article suggested by D.Draker was that there was an arbitrary limitation on the bandwidth on the Windows XP nvidia drivers, however I'm not so sure they apply to DVI on the GTX 460: Does this imply that there's some kind of limitation within the nvidia driver or windows xp itself? Is this something that can be patched? Thanks again everyone for your suggestions and sorry for replying so late.

I actually don't remember sadly, the image is from a year ago. I think i just followed some guide on youtube. I forgot WinRaid was a place, i'll be sure to post there. Thanks for your response!

Hi all, I hope this is the right forum for talking about getting software on unsupported machines. I have a Lenovo 15IML05 (otherwise known as an ideapad L3). I've managed to get Windows 7 installed and semi-functional. I'm still missing some capability, though: The four drivers that matter to me the most of any are: - Touchpad - Display - Wireless - USB The laptop has an Intel Pentium 6405U which has an Intel Graphics UHD 610. My attempt at installing a modded driver resulted in the picture attached: Interesting... This machine requires the Intel Serial I/O driver for the touchpad (https://download.lenovo.com/consumer/mobiles/qglc050faca0.exe). This device displays as simply ACPI\INT34BB. The network controller HWID displays as PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_02F0&SUBSYS_02348086&REV_00 The USB 3.0 hub HWID displays as PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_02ED&SUBSYS_380B17AA&REV_00 in device manager.

Trying to run 1920x1080@144. The native resolution of my monitor is 1929x1080@165, however it caps at 144hz on this card. Using Acer XV240Y. Also of note with this issue is that the card simply does not pick up any refresh rate higher than 60hz. Seems to cooperate properly with <60hz, though.

Hi , I have an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460, and while it has drivers for XP, it does not properly detect my LCD / set the refresh rate properly. Strangely enough, my CRT gets recognized and lets me set the refresh rate freely, though. When I do set the refresh rate, Windows says it is running at its proper 144hz, however the display still is updating at only 60hz. I am running it through the HDMI port, and on other versions of Windows (>XP) I do get properly working refresh rate settings. On the latest driver, it detects it as an SDTV and won't let me add any custom resolutions at all. On an older driver, the LCD is detected as an LCD, lets me add custom resolutions, but the refresh rate issue occurs. Is this issue known at all? Is there a workaround? Thanks.
