hi what about this?

http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/GRAPHICS-BOARD/NVIDIA/NVIDIA-GeForce-iCafe-Graphics-Driver-36891-for-XP.shtml

This driver cannot detect the GTX 1070 graphics card in the laptop.

As I said 6 or so months ago, my motherboard went belly up and I decided to fully move into Linux Mint. I will start playing with XP, again, in a Xen environment. For that reason, this is a most interesting thread: I understand that the NV GTX 1050 series allows for the deployment of small language (SML) AI (llama, deepseek and such), which can be managed, in a dual boot (and potentially in a Xen setup), with Linux Mint -and will in any case probably give a boost to XP media performance.

Nvidia GTX 1050Ti will never work properly with XP.

Define properly and, short a court ruling, provide evidence to sustain your claim. I'm waiting for a GTX 3070, to be run in Linux. I will try and see what I can do with it, in a Xen setup, to run XP. Short of that, I will run it from one of my old quadros, anyway. Again, interesting thread. Edited April 20 by dmiranda

First, 1050Ti is not supported even on Vista! But with @D.Draker ported driver it works with Vista. D.Draker never released 1050 driver for XP. No one did that. There was an attempt on youtube, but it failed miserably. No hardware acceleration worked because XP lacks directX 11, that's what I meant by properly.

And that attempt was made using gtx1060, which is even older than 1050! XP drivers only exist up to 36x.xx , for 1050 you need 373.xx as the minimum. But it's only made for Vista and up (thanks to D.Draker).

If you try, you will get BSOD.

So, I guess that for you CUVID doesn't count as hardware acceleration? "No hardware acceleration worked because XP lacks directX 11"

I understand it as it couldn't open a 3D application (game) at all, and could only do Windows GUI. Even older drivers were quite different on NT5 and NT6, and not interchangeble. The NT6 driver doesn't use paged pool so much and has the new display scaling page.

Wrong, no acceleration was available at all.

Partially right. Yes, the GUI worked with GTX 1060 and XP using 368.xx driver, with 1050 it gets BSOD, just like it was written at the start of the topic already.

Use search, find this video. Translate the description from Bulgarian, you will see no acceleration will ever work in Pascal 1000 series.

Add ten bucks, buy a 1070 instead of the garbage 1050, if you're willing to try, 'cause 1050 will simply BSOD on you.

The driver WITHOUT H/W acceleration is in the video.

I may in the future, I'm setting up a 3060 in Linux, and have a way to go before I start running XP again. In any case, the 1050s are too expensive for their worth, nowadays, and I can barely find 1070s. They will hopefully go back to normal prices when I'm ready for it.

Besides your momma's rulings, got any evidence for that? I used H/A in MPC and firefox under 52, back then. You don't have to believe me, nor do I want to convince you. Cheers!

A lot of evidence on youtube.

With 1050??? Which driver?

[dmiranda]

Nah, this was back in the mid 2010s. All FF browsers post ff 51 or so dropped H/A. 1050 was nor around.
