Hacking Nvidia's Drivers!

On 4/11/2019 at 12:23 PM, Adr1an_ said:

Guys, I'm wondering whether one of these could be the answer to all these nVidia Control Panel troubles?  The video output is disabled trough BIOS, but the card may still sense the adapter as a connected monitor. Hmm...

Did you try it? Did it work?

You're going to need a 4th generation or higher chip, my friend.

You need to have 4th gen haswell. They have been trying different work arounds, something to do with being low powered graphics card mode or something.

You can try to install drivers without touching Secure Boot.

 

Or install the unmodified driver and use registry hack.

I was able to do it with IVY BRIDGE!! on Windows 7 like nkp123 suggested.

 

"To force vga output in Windows 7 you need to go to the "Screen resolution" menu, click on "Detect" button - another gray screen(s) should pop up in the menu. Click on one of them, and in the drop down menu select something like "Try to connect VGA display on P106-100"."

After that select "Extend Displays" and apply

Then if you set your "virtual monitor" as a Default (Dont do this unless you have a program to switch windows between monitors with keys!! I use Ultramon programs will start there and use the P106-100 GPU and you can use your hotkey to switch to your main monitor and it will be good

I got 7600 score on PassMark with this method. It is not perfect but until someone figures out how to enable the "High Power Option" for Ivy Bridge on Windows 10 it works. Thank you nkp123!

Can you guide me to do in sandy bridge?

With sandy and ivy you can't do it on windows 10. Best solution is Linux PopOS, works right outside the box. I sent you a PM.

It not working on Windows 10 is not a hardware limitation, it is windows being stupid! (coming from a windows fanboy)

I have been trying to find a solution so that the Desktop is treated as a laptop. 
1- Instead of deleting Adaptertype in the registry I changed its value to 4 and YOU MUST change Mshybrid to 1 instead of 0.
2- (I don't think it's needed but I'll mention it just in case) Then I went to this registry address: 
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Multimedia\SystemProfile\Tasks\Games
and modified the values to be as such (see picture 1)


I removed the game's profiles from the Windows GPU setting and launched them and they indeed utilized the GP106 GPU. And it appears that even Directx9 is working as you can see in the last picture. 

I have an I5 4670K and MSI Z87 gaming motherboard and running Windows 10 Pro version 1809 build  17763.437.

UPDATE: You don't need all these steps just the first one, just change Adaptertype to 4 (or delete Adaptertype )  and YOU MUST change Mshybrid to 1 instead of 0.

But the cards will never run at better than PCI-e 1.1, no matter the software hacking done with the drivers, this is a hardware limitation correct? Like not even modding the BIOS will ever change that?

I have no idea whether it's a hardware limitation or a bios limitation. But running 16 1.1 does not limit such a barely-considered mid-end gpu to start with If you have watched  Linus video about it you would have seen the benchmarks between it and a regular 1060

An update.

I am not sure whether all the steps I provided are necessary but what I am sure of is that Mshybrid needs to be set to 1 for the panel to open I just changed it to 0 and rebooted and it didn't open however when I changed it back to 1 and rebooted it opened. So my advice is to change Mshybrid to 1 reboot and test whether it does the job first.

It's funny... on my system (Skylake-based Windows 10 1903) it is enough to enable mshybrid to open the control panel and set up P106 as the default adapter

Also, control panel can be enabled with modified drivers from first post. If driver is modified by OP method, then you need to create DWORD EnableMsHybrid =1

Will this work with later driver than 417.22? No, right?

If someone has a third or earlier gen cpu, try the fix I found and see if it's doable.
