halohalo Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 (edited) Since Dec 2014, AMD has released several iCafé unified drivers for China's internet cafes. Latest XP driver(9.000.300.3010) supports R7 360 and R9 370. Unfortunately, there is no device ID for R9 290. And I don't know how AMD "optimizes" the driver. I only know most files have been changed, but their version numbers stay the same.

greenhillmaniac Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 Dangit, no R9 380 drivers Regardless, this is an amazing discovery! New cards (that are on the list) can now use Windows XP (and maybe even Windows 2000 with KernelEx...) I wonder if there's something for Vista...
FranceBB Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 I didn't know that! When I bought an R9 290x, I made drivers myself, but they never worked as I expected... Thank you for letting us know!
Dibya Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 thanks . After little inf moding it is working in R9 Fury 1

dencorso Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 .inf mods are always the 1st thing to try, when the driver refuses to just work: in a lot of cases this is just due to the lack of the proper device ID in the right place and nothing more. When that approach fails, then things can be difficult.

After little inf moding it is working in R9 Fury Sorry for reanimation, but there you are... :-) ...at the moment, i have problems running my GTX 970 on my Windows 10, which is triple-boot with XP and W98SE. It runs fine on XP, but W10 just blackscreens. Seems to be an issue between driver, W10, and MoBo. Whatever. Does anybody still have a link to that driver? AMD killed it on their page... Do you still have that modded inf-file? I consider using a R9-nano, until i sort that problem out with my GTX 970, but it has to work with XP... and the other (supported) options, 280 and 280X, are to hot for my machine, and would, especially, grill my soundblaster. The nano looks like a good option, performance-wise, heat, video-ram... What do you think, is it worth a try? Edited January 23, 2020 by ragnargd Avoiding getting banned...

It doesn't worth to take risk . R9 Fury used to bsod with icafe driver many times . Try force installing older driver on windows 10 , new nvidia driver are particularly buggy on 900 & 700 series card

If you use the monitor with Displayport 1.4, you have to apply NVIDIA Graphics Firmware Update Tool for DisplayPort 1.3 and 1.4 Displays. My GTX 960 works on Windows 10 version 1607 with driver R390, so I think you can try different driver branch.
ragnargd Posted January 31, 2020 Posted January 31, 2020 @Diby @halohalo: Thank you for the tips. I just got a GTX 1070, and will try that one. If possible, with the nvidia icafe drivers on xp. I will report...
Dibya Posted February 4, 2020 Posted February 4, 2020 Nvidia icafe driver doesn't have support for gtx1070 on XP . Your best bet is to get a gtx970

ragnargd Posted February 5, 2020 Posted February 5, 2020 (edited) >> @Dibya Your best bet is to get a gtx970 Unfortunately, that is exactly the card i have, and which blackscreens under W10. I have two, actually. And a 710. All to the same effect. Since Windows 190x Yes, the 1060/70/80 cards are not mentioned in the NVidia driver-files, no matter what the internet says... https://drivers.softpedia.com/get/GRAPHICS-BOARD/NVIDIA/NVIDIA-GeForce-iCafe-Graphics-Driver-36891-for-XP.shtml#download https://forums.guru3d.com/threads/nvidia-geforce-icafe-expresso-368-91-whql-desktop-driver.408957/ @jaclaz You have always been there when i needed you... ;-) ------------------- So all in all, the 1070 will be my forever-card in my Gaming-rig, as i assume it will take some time unless the 1070 bows before any game at 1920x1200 ... ...but i'm still at a loss on my triple-boot machine... any ideas are welcome. Well, since the latest driver by NVidia, the GTX 970 is - finally - working again. Chapter closed. Until the next either NVidia Driver -, or Windows Update-Nightmare. Whatever... (What can I say... Windows XP and Windows 98SE on the same machine run rock-solid... :-D ) Thank you for all your support! Cheers, Ragnar G.D. Edited February 12, 2020 by ragnargd

How much of a bsod are we talking about? Is it viable for gaming (aka bsod once in a blue moon) or is it "you won't even exit the games menu" kind of bsod?
