halohalo Posted July 18, 2019 Posted July 18, 2019 (edited) I modified the INF file, and GeForce GTX 1660 Ti displayed Code 43 error on Windows 10 version 1607 Test Mode. GeForce RTX GPUs support Windows 7, 8, 8.1, and Windows 10 version 1709 or later. But Quadro RTX GPUs support 1607. Now I am sure the installation is not blocked by the INF file. The driver for NVIDIA USB Type-C Port Policy Controller can be found in PPC folder. I also checked the INF file in AMD Radeon software 19.7.1, and I think Radeon RX 5700 GPUs may support 1607.

XanderBaatz Posted August 25, 2019 Posted August 25, 2019 Hey OP. I'm trying to make RTX cards work on older versions too, specifically 1607 LTSB. I have tried modding system files, modding GPU drivers, I also tried faking the Windows version so that the driver would install and work properly. Have you had any luck yet?
pangoomis Posted August 25, 2019 Posted August 25, 2019 (edited) Although this is possibly a hardcoded restriction made by NVIDIA (and without editing driver files, you can't do much with it), try using the oldest drivers that support the 1660 Ti (419.17), from here: https://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/143338/ Edited August 25, 2019 by MrMateczko
halohalo Posted August 27, 2019 Author Posted August 27, 2019 When nvlddmkm.sys is loaded, it detects OS version. If I want to install 412.40, I need to replace 3839 with 3FAB, then nvlddmkm.sys will not be unloaded. The second problem is Windows 10 version 1607, because it has strict driver signing rules. https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Windows-Hardware-Certification/Driver-Signing-changes-in-Windows-10-version-1607/ba-p/364894 GTX Turing GPUs do not support NVIDIA NGX. Besides, I think NVIDIA blocks Pascal GPUs on 1507 by NvBlockTH1Install. USB 3.1 card based on Asmedia ASM1142 works on Windows 2000 with blackwingcat's extended core v16a installed.
halohalo Posted September 6, 2019 Author Posted September 6, 2019 Finally, I modified nvlddmkm.sys to prevent the unloading process. It also needs to be test-signed. To prevent the drastic performance decrease, I disabled driver signature enforcement before installation. FurMark test result: http://www.ozone3d.net/gpudb/score.php?which=787187
halohalo Posted November 19, 2019 Author Posted November 19, 2019 R410 is obsolete, so I update the driver to 431.98. Now I can play Quake II RTX demo at 20 FPS. FurMark test result: http://www.ozone3d.net/gpudb/score.php?which=825921

halohalo Posted January 18, 2020 Author Posted January 18, 2020 No, I think it is possible to install R435 and later in debug mode temporally, but making a modified driver for test mode is not as easy as R430 and older. If I need to update the driver to R435 and later, it is necessary to debug again before modification. The INF file of 442.01 supports Turing GeForce GPUs on Windows 10 version 1709 and later, but Windows 10 supports ray tracing since 1803.
halohalo Posted January 18, 2020 Author Posted January 18, 2020 I can turn on HDR by worleydl's hdr-switcher, but I have to edit uhdDisplay.cpp and replace NV_HDR_MODE_UHDBD with NV_HDR_MODE_UHDA_PASSTHROUGH. The switcher can't turn off HDR immediately, and I know nothing about programming, so I compiled another switcher using NV_HDR_MODE_OFF.
xmauro Posted January 18, 2020 Posted January 18, 2020 (edited) and this driver http://us.download.nvidia.com/Windows/Quadro_Certified/441.66/441.66-quadro-winserv-2016-2019-64bit-international-whql.exe technically windows server 2016 is the same as 10 1607 same build so if it works on it, just add your gpu strings there in inf and install because the rtx chassis gpus use the same chip as the rtx geforces so there’s not much because it doesn’t work is it? Edited January 18, 2020 by xmauro
halohalo Posted January 18, 2020 Author Posted January 18, 2020 Drivers for workstation GPUs or Windows 7/ 8.1 also block installation. Modifying the INF file can't fix Code 43 error during installation.

halohalo Posted April 6, 2020 Author Posted April 6, 2020 Resident Evil 3 demo supports Windows 10 HDR instead of NVAPI HDR. When I enable full screen HDR in game, the screen goes black and the input response becomes very slow. If I switch to other program, the problem temporarily disappears because the game leaves full screen HDR mode. Anyway, adaptive sync works in full screen mode and borderless windowed mode under DirectX 12, and the graphics are nice. VLC media player also has black screen issue because it only supports Windows 10 HDR. This is one limitation of 1607, so updating driver to 445.75 didn't help. FurMark test result of 445.75: https://gpuscore.top/furmark/show.php?id=38606
halohalo Posted April 12, 2020 Author Posted April 12, 2020 (edited) I didn't know that Device Manager ignores NvProfileUpdaterPlugin.dll during installation. NvProfileUpdaterPlugin.dll is required since R435. Without the file, NVIDIA Control Panel keeps showing access denied error when I try to apply Adaptive-Sync or 3D settings. After reinstalling Windows, I solved this problem by copying the file to Session folder. Now Adaptive-Sync works on D3D 11 windowed mode, and VLC media player can use D3D 11 video output in full screen. Edited June 14, 2020 by halohalo
