[SOLVED]Get RTX 2080 Ti working on Windows Server 2016

Hi everyone

I'm an IT apprentice in Europe and have some problems with drivers for a GPU Server.

 

So here's a little Info that might be important:

The Server has 8 Nvidia RTX 2080 Ti's in it and will be used for password cracking.

I use Hashcat to crack passwords.

I've installed the OpenCL runtime for Xeon CPU's.

I've installed Windows Server 2016 64bit on the Server.

 

Hardware specs:

8x GeForce RTX 2080 Ti TURBO 11G

2x Intel Xeon  4110 Silver

supermicro x11dpg-ot-cpu Motherboard

 

And now my problem:

I want to use the computing power of the RTX 2080 Ti's to crack passwords and to do that, I'll need an Nvidia driver if I'm correct.

Problem is, I couldn't find a driver for RTX cards that lists Windows Server as a compatible Operating System.

 

I don't want to game on the machine, Hashcat just has to recognize the GPU's which is done with OpenCL. As I mentioned above, I've installed the OpenCL runtime for Xeon CPU's but that obviously doesn't include the GPU's.

 

Thanks in advance for every help I can get on here.

Regards

Johnny

Try the Windows 8.1 driver, 8.1 and Server 16 share the same WDDM version requirements iirc.

Sadly the older driver wouldn't work for me.

 

But I installed Windows Server 2019, after that the newest Nvidia driver worked without a problem.
