GPU DRIVER MODDING TO CHANGE DRIVER VERSION

[barimanis900]

Hey all,

I have a laptop with a GT920M, I know it's not powerful however it does the job just fine and I can play most games at 60fps in 720p (and some in 1080). I'm a die-hard plane enthusiast and I like to fly sims on my free time. Currently, I believe the best sim is X-Plane 11. I can run it at 1080p with alot of settings at high (I've tried reducing the graphics and resolution. No impact on FPS) I get around 20-30 FPS with default aircraft but around 10 in advanced add-on aircraft with alot of systems. The simulator needs a minimum of 20FPS constant to run the real-time-physics at full speed. I can run the sim in vulkan and it's said to improve FPS greatly. The only problem for me is that the latest drivers for my GPU aren't ver. 440 or above, and the game has a limit on the drivers and so I can't run it with vulkan.

TLDR:

Is there a way to modify my drivers to make the system thing it's running version 448 or something when in reality it's not? (Not changing drivers itself)

Any help would be greatly appreciated

i'd dare blindly state that it's not the driver version ID that's the problem, but that anything below that version ID is missing some key libraries to make vulkan work...
