D.Draker Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Error Code 52 is a blatant driver digital signature issue with your Graphics Driver in the combination with the operating system. 8.1 has very strict demands towards WHQL. Clean manual installation of WHQL graphics drivers resolve the issue. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, he would get a watermark then. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I'm pretty sure this is not relevant, not only because of the wrong OS, but also due to the fact his card is 6 years old, and the last driver for it was from 2021, 2 years old, and they claim in the article - they made these changes only starting from the January of 2023. (!) "Starting January 16th 2023 ..." Try this driver 471 (the R470 branch from 2021 is the last for Windows 8.1): I myself tried and it worked with my spare (guinea pig) GT1030 EVGA SC. https://www.evga.com/products/specs/gpu.aspx?pn=c22d5809-ca26-4974-901f-07065acf1bf1 https://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/176519/en-uk/ My remark : This is insane, actually. MS and Nvidia can't get their crap together, lol. End users shouldn't burden themselves with such inconveniences .

bruno16757 Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 i said you have to turn on testsigning on for windows 8.1 as well to to use the latest driver. GeForce Security Update Driver | 474.30 | Windows 7 64-bit, Windows 8.1 64-bit, Windows 8 64-bit | NVIDIA thats the latest driver for windows 8.1 https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/203218/en-us/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Nvidia themselves "Security Update Drivers" don't bring anything new to the table in terms of gaming, in fact they do reduce FPS, it's been known for decades. So it's the same old 471 driver (branch R470) from 2 years ago, in the flesh. But whaddaiknow from only 23 years of using Nvidia. Looks like the OP lost the diesire to talk and went dark, so we'll never know the happy end (not). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
