NVCleanstall 1.8.1 vs. Quadro driver

StefanM · Mar 20, 2021

As you might already know, NVIDIA stopped Fermi GeForce support 2 years ago.
However they still release Quadro Fermi drivers, latest atm is 392.63

Desktop Quadros are listed in template without nv_dispwi.inf (with additional W like workstation)
If you select a desktop Quadro, NVCleanstall looks for nv_dispi.inf and fails

Selecting a mobile Quadro works fine though, at least a minimum installation i tested.

(I have no Fermi handy, hence a screenshot with Pascal)

Nice find. Does the attached build work correctly?

Any general thoughts on the UX for "Add Hardware Support" ? Haven't found a lot of people who use this regularly

That looks good.

This time i choose Quadro 452.77 LTSB
Picky driver. In spite of 2 reboots it completed successfully.
Note to Kepler users: R450 LTSB is supported until July 2023.

Suggest GPU from INF that is most similar to the target GPU would require a complex database i guess?
Too much work for a handful of users.

Actually, that might be possible based on the device ID

I suggest to install 391.35 Game Ready first.
Then 392.63 on top of it, do not tick "clean installation", do not use DDU or similar.

on top of it

why?

At least legacy PhysX is missing in Quadro driver.

Ah right, good point
