Jaguarek62 Posted February 27, 2021 Author Share Posted February 27, 2021 Alright I've calm down. They acknowledge that there is known issue and the driver has been temporarily disabled for download.

It is just not listed. They are still making wddm 1.3 drivers for windows 8.1 but just quietly for some unknown reasons.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have downloaded the installer for GTX 1080 Ti with Windows 8.1 x64 selected as the target OS and compared the checksums with the GTX 1660 installer for Windows 7. They matched though they have different names. 461.40-desktop-win8-win7-64bit-international-whql.exe: Adler32: EC07F482 CRC32: 4CC15EBE MD5: F703DCED2EF2942EC1583FCFD49198FE SHA-1: 141617C1AB99D7939F1308845278BCD6A5EB28A3 461.40-desktop-win7-64bit-international-whql.exe: Adler32: EC07F482 CRC32: 4CC15EBE MD5: F703DCED2EF2942EC1583FCFD49198FE SHA-1: 141617C1AB99D7939F1308845278BCD6A5EB28A3 4 minutes ago, Jaguarek62 said: You can check it for yourself windows 7 driver includes nt 6.2 and nt 6.3 section They exist, that's right.

Installed windows 8.1 earlier, downloaded about 5 different nvidia drivers of which none of them worked. Upon looking at the device list, the 30 series is mentioned on there but the drivers still refuse to uninstall due to hardware compatibility. I really hope someone finds a fix for this because windows 8.1 is a very good operating system 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
