Hardware vendors can't catch a break. The US government is turning up the heat on export controls for advanced AI tech. Quotes Dunno what to say more about this farce, but that the looming black market for high-end GPUs amid tightening trade restrictions will push up the prices even more for all of us.

After restarting, you’ll know it worked if some text is displayed in the lower right corner of your desktop Download and extract the GeForce driver using 7-Zip In the extracted folder, go to the Display.Driver folder and open nv_dispi.infusing Notepad++ Search for lines containing 1B87 (P104-100), 1BC7, (P104-101) 1C07(P106-100), and 1C09 (P106-090) Change each line's Section number to match the 1C06 (GTX 1060) line - On 416.34, that means from Section110 to Section108 On the third set of lines, the Section numbers will be different; Again change it to match the 1C06 (GTX 1060) line - On 416.34, that's Section109 to Section107 Save the file Install the driver as normal – Windows will complain that it’s unsigned; Click allow. Right-click the desktop, go to Display Settings, then Graphics Settings From here, you can force any game to use the P106 to render while your integrated GPU is used for display output. How to perform the SLI mod Make sure Secure Boot is disabled and Windows is in testsigning mode Check your motherboard manual for information on how to disable Secure Boot Testsigning can be enabled by opening up a Command Prompt or PowerShell as administrator, then typing: bcdedit /set {current} testsigning on bcdedit /set {current} nointegritychecks on This can be done for a single boot by going to Start -> Power -> Restart and holding shift while clicking Restart After restarting, you’ll know it worked if some text is displayed in the lower right corner of your desktop Install both graphics cards you wish to attempt SLI with The first three characters of the PCI device ID MUST match to enable SLI To find out what the device ID is, right-click the start button and click Device Manager In the Display adaptors list double-click the card you want to check. Under the Details tab, click the drop-down and then click Hardware IDs. It will look like this: PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_1F07&SUBSYS_86701043&REV_A1 VEN_10DE means Nvidia, while DEV_1F07 is the device ID – In this example, an RTX 2070. So in order to run SLI, the other card’s device ID will have to also start with DEV_1F0 Download and install the GeForce driver as usual Download and extract the DifferentSLIAuto package Go to C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository and sort by date Go into the newest folder beginning with nv_dispi.inf Copy the nvlddmkm.sys file to the DifferentSLIAuto folder Open the install.cmd file in the DifferentSLIAuto folder in Notepad++ Replace the three mentions of nv_dispi.inf in install.cmd with the folder name we got the nvlddmkm.sys file Open the nvlddmkm.sys we copied in a hex editor (HxD) In HxD, go to Search, then Find, then click the Hex Values tab Search for 79050fba6b240e Position the cursor at the start of these values Replace with C7432400000000 (no need to delete first, just type over it) Save the file Reboot into Safe Mode with Networking Click Start, then Power, then hold shift while clicking Reboot In the menu that comes up, click Troubleshoot, then Advanced Options, then Startup Settings (on some PCs, this may be behind a “show more options” arrow) - Once the PC reboots, press 5 on the screen that appears. Run install.cmd in the DifferentSLIAuto folder as administrator Reboot into normal mode Enable SLI (hopefully)

Hi, Randomly out of nowhere my screens will freeze then just go black, then my main monitor will flicker from an off black to an on black constantly. I've checked all my drivers to no avail and its really annoying me as its a brand new PC. I found out that Nvidia Geforce experience wasnt working last night and that when i opened the app up it was lagging my mouse out, i turned off the ingame overlay and it felt smoother. Any Ideas? I'm stumped. Thanks

Hi, I started experiencing an issue where installing the latest Nvidia drivers leads to a crash, then windows system repair when my PC restarts. I ended up buying mostly new parts and doing a clean install of Windows so at this point the only 2 components which aren't brand new are my GPU and PSU. The issue has persisted no matter what I've tried to do. I wasn't able to update to the most recent drivers on Nvidia's site so I ended up installing 537.58 which is working, but not working great. Since installing, I've been playing a lot of The Finals and experiencing extremely frequent Unreal Engine crashes which the internet says are caused by driver corruption. I'm starting to worry that my 3080 has gone bad after barely a year of extremely light use. (~90% of the time it's been used has been playing TF2, watching Youtube and using Microsoft Excel.) At this point it seems that it's either my PSU not delivering enough power or my GPU going bad long before it should. What do you guys think? My build is as follows: GPU: Gigabyte Windforce RTX 3080 (16 months old) CPU: i5 14500 (Brand New) PSU: Corsair TX650m (4.5 years old) MOBO: Asrock B760M PG Sonic Wifi (Brand New) Ram: 16GBx2 G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5 (Brand New) SSD: WD Blue SA510 1 TB (Brand New) Water Cooler: 2X 120mm Cooler Master RGB (Brand New) OS: Fresh install of Win11 Pro GPU Driver: Geforce Game Ready Driver 537.58 (Released 10/10/2023)

Hello, I recently bought a Surface book 3 with the Quadro RTX 3000 but noticed that some games run fantastic and others barely run at all. Is there some type of way to get GeForce drivers as I believe it could be a driver problem.

So, recently I bought a second hand MSI GTX 1080ti Sea Hawk X and tried installing it replacing my 1660ti, however, I could't get past installing the geforce drivers. The drivers would almost finish installing but then the display would flash with these small glitchy looking white/purple/green lines and restart. With every restart after that, the process would repeat, windows logo would load followed by screen going blank with glitchy lines and then restart. Or it would also sometimes not restart and just say no signal. Other times the glitchy lines would stay on the screen for 5 seconds or more before restarting. The only way to break the cycle was to boot into safe mode and use DDU to clear the drivers, then it would boot into windows normally. So, as long as the drivers weren't installed or I was in safe mode everything would work fine besides obviously not being able to actually use the gpu. Not sure if this is important, but I have 2 monitors and the 1080ti would only display to one of them. The person I bought the card from claims that It was working perfectly fine before I got it, which I am inclined to believe because he has videos of it working days prior (and proof of the date). He says he's never seen the card do anything like what I showed him. The cards vRAM fan is also loud (making an RRRRR sound) and inconsistent (would spin for like 2 seconds at a time), like its struggling to spin. Which he also claimed didn't happen before. He has been doing his best to give suggestions on what the issue might be. I even tried installing it on my girlfriends pc, which is a lot more powerful and updated, yet the symptoms were the same. Even the monitor problem where it only displays to 1 of 2 monitors. Will soon also try it on my friends computer which is even more updated and powerful. I also reinstalled my old 1660ti and had no issues. Does anyone know what the issue might be? Am I installing something wrong, is there a compatibility issue, or did I just get ripped off? The attached images show what the glitchy lines look like when they flash on the screen. Any help would be great!

I have been building a Pc for my friend to stream on for the past 2 weeks I have set up the Pc and installed windows 11 but if the gpu is plugged in the screen will go black after a few seconds of trying to log into windows. Sometime I can log in but the same thing happens Right now I have the gpu in the pc but booted into safe mode to disable it via device manager. I think I have downloaded the right driver for it. I have also checked the bios settings and they are fine.

The situation is as follows, the video card arrived on July 25th, I bought it through Mercado Livre (an online marketplace in Brazil). After a month, I noticed that it was experiencing an issue. When I was using a social network or a website (YouTube, Twitter, TikTok, Instagram, etc.), in some corner of the screen, randomly, the image would distort with small black squares (as shown in the attached image). It happened very quickly, almost imperceptibly at times. I performed some tests like checking if the card was properly seated, testing all the DisplayPort inputs, as well as just the HDMI input, and testing the cables, but the problem persisted. This issue doesn't occur with another video card. The problem is intermittent, meaning it doesn't happen all the time, but recently, it's been happening quite often. The black squares don't stay on the screen continuously; they appear and disappear rapidly, sometimes taking around 2 or 3 seconds at most. Testing it today (September 21st), it stayed on the screen for about 8 seconds. If it helps, it occurs more often when I'm watching TikTok videos, scrolling through Twitter posts, watching YouTube shorts, or even when I scroll rapidly up or down with the mouse on YouTube, for example. I received a response about this from Galax: "Other users with the same model of graphics card are experiencing the same issue; it is an error in the Nvidia driver, not a problem with the card, and we are not responsible for the drivers but rather an error in the driver update.Our suggestion is to use older drivers until the issue is resolved by Nvidia. Thank you for your preference. Sincerely, GALAX BRAZIL" I wanted to know if someone has ever experienced this issue and if it's indeed the driver. I also installed version 536.40 here and noticed that the problem occurred once. If someone has a solution, please let me know, or if I really need to insist with them regarding the warranty.

I am upgrading/building a pc, everything has been decided except the GPU, my choice is between 3 GPUs; Zotac RTX 4060 Ti Amp 16GB or Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 7700 XT 12GB or Gigabyte Radeon RX 6750 XT GAMING OC 12G. I want to know which GPU is best and how they would be ranked in order of performance and efficiency/value.

I was wondering if is good upgrade from good gigabyte rtx 3070 gaming X oc to rtx 4070 Ti cause of more vram? Thx

i got a good deal for a 4070 TI ($700 usd). Its it worth the upgrade?? or its not significant?? i got a 170hz 1440p monitor and i care about as much fps counts as posible

To my understanding, a graphics card that display artifacts can either have a dying GPU or faulty VRAM, correct? In the first case, it's just a matter of time for the card to die altogether, with the GPU losing contact with the die. But if it's the VRAM, can it be used as a secondary graphics card for a SLI setup, or would the artifacts be displayed on the screen? Someone told me that the GTX 1000 series was projected to display a black screen if any sector of the VRAM is faulty, and that's why you don't often find artifacting GTX 1000 GPUs. Does it work similarly on another generation of cards, so I can distiguish between good or bad SLI candidates?

I recently got a GTX 1660 Ti as an upgrade from my old rx470. I DDU'd the old drivers before installing and I've DDU'd and reinstalled my GeForce drivers at least three times now trying to fix the issue. It's hard to explain what the problem is without pictures, and any screenshots I take only show what my screen SHOULD look like and not what it DOES look like. It looks completely fine when I'm using my PC for gaming, editing, or anything else. However, when I try to use an in-app video player, (discord youtube player, Reddit video player, even steam game trailers) my display goes black for just a second or two, then comes back displaying the same image but i little more crunchy. Almost like it's cranking the contrast to 200% or something. I've found a couple of temporary fixes like, for example, restarting my PC. when I restart the crunchiness goes away, and I've also noticed that going into the Nvidia control panel and change my resolution to 4k and then back to 1080p it reverts back to what it was before. has anyone had an issue like this before? I've had the seller offer to refund or replace my GPU but I don't want to go through the hassle if this is something I can fix myself. (I'll attach a screenshot of speccy for my full specs if it helps)

Hi, About 2 months ago I bought a TUF RTX 3080 card, the card has worked without any problems so far. A few days ago I did a 461.40 driver update via GeForce Experience and suddenly the card was not recognized by the computer. First, an exclamation mark started appearing next to the video card in the device manager. When I try to update the driver again later, I could no longer enter the settings section and the home page on GeForce Experience, although I did update and install but I constantly get the installation screen. First I loaded and updated GPU BIOS via ASUS website. There was no change. Then I did a clean installation by completely removing the drivers with DDU, but again nothing changed. I installed the ASUS GPU tweaker II application but it also gives a no driver error. Corsair iCUE and ASUS Armory Crate apps do not see the graphics card. I wonder if the problem is hardware related? Should I take the card to the service? I would be glad if you could help. Respects.

Hey guys, I am not sure If my onboard GPU is enough for playing games with GeForce Now. This is what the Nvidia website is demanding: I have a i7 9700k, so a HD 630 I think. Is this better than a HD 2000? Thanks in advance!
