I need help getting drivers for my gtx 1050

[Kacurran]

So I am running Windows server 2019 data center. I want to run a VM so I can gift the VM to my brother. Well I can't get GeForce experience or any drivers. I am a loss. I also want to enable GPU pass through which I can't get to work.

is this a laptop or desktop. From what I know, you cannot do this with only 1 gpu. (if you have intel cpu's with iGPU it should work). 

if you have a cpu with no iGPU and 1 GPU, you cannot.

I am using a dell r620 it has a a matrox graphics chip.

False. You can always download drivers via the website. @Kacurran can you give us the actual specs?

nvidia will not let you install them unless you have a compatible gpu present. when you install, it does a check.

We need specs first. You can't determine if he is using a nvidia gpu.

[Kacurran]

Did you go to the official website of the gpu. Their drivers can be easily found there, You can also search google by placing the name of your gpu.

[Kacurran]

i know it is a evga card but wouldn't come with a driver disc

[Nathan The Neko]

Ok. You can download the drivers manually via the website then install it on Device Manager.

 

Edit: If you don't know how you can always search google or youtube

[Kacurran]

i might have found drivers have spent about 3 hrs on this task.

 

[Nathan The Neko]

Nice, If I helped you you can mark it as solution so that other people can easily see it

[Kacurran]

it goes till the install stage but then it says it failed and skip the other drivers. i have gotten to the install part yet on the new download

[Kacurran]

[Nathan The Neko]

Try restarting your PC, then install it.

[Kacurran]

Maybe its the wrong driver. Instead of searching gtx 1050 drivers, try searching evga gtx 1050 drivers. Other companies probably has its own drivers like asus so that they squeeze every performance out of it.

it doest matter if your 1050 is from evga or msi or asus. they are all the same gpu so all same drivers. go to geforce.com and get your driver. but if the gpu is not detected, it will not install.
