I have a PC with an i5 650 with a gt 710 2gb versio, 8gb ddr3 ram@1333mhz, a 1tb sata ssd boot drive (the motherboard does not have an m.2 slot) with 2 HDDs for storage (1tb + 500gb) running tiny 11(a massively cut down version of windows 11 in terms of system resource and storage consumption and no microsoft edge and copilot, with absolutely no app compatibility issues or any other issues as well) as windows 11 uses too many system resources. the issue I am facing though is when i use the latest official nvidia driver downloaded from their website (in this case driver version 475.61 the following problems show up:

1) gpu not detected in task manager, 2) exclamation mark on the gpu in device manager despite trying every single troubleshooting method,

3) nvidia control panel not showing up when I right click on the home screen and telling me to do the same if i try to open it manually,

4) the entire screen on my 24 inch monitor is not covered when i use hdmi and while using vga fixes the monitor scaling issue the picture quality is terrible and

5) I cant use multiple monitors using the mentioned driver version. All these issues are fixed if I use the driver version 381.65 but now while all the apps that didnt work with the previous driver now work, my pc has started randomly bluescreening, crashing, and restarting randomly. I tried using linux but its not for me. Please help me, its starting to become really annoying?

The problem with the GT 710 is that it has at least two different architectures depending on which version you have. So when you put that GPU into Nvidia's driver tool, it just gives you the driver for the most recent version of the GT 710. Which won't be supported by the other version (It has a ton of other versions as well, but they are mostly from within the same architecture, like using the laptop version of this chip in a desktop card and selling it with a prebuilt PC).

 

It can have the any of the following cores which would determine which driver you need: GK208, GK208B, GF119S (And a bunch more that are probably not applicable to you, but if it's something else then reply and I'll find the relevant driver).

 

If it's GK208 or GK208B 475.14 is the latest driver. The latest driver for GF119S is 385.12/391.35 and does not have a Windows 11 driver. So I would expect crashing.

 

You can check which core your card has in GPU-Z.
