Solved GTX 1030 Drivers For Vista?

[Calameres]

I'm planning on reinstalling vista next to my newly installed linux mint but I'm having issues finding drivers that would work on the GTX 1030 (its on the way) if anyine could help with this it would be much appreciated (also the computer is an hp elite 8300 desktop)

This is the closest I could come to it- Any way to get GT 1030 Drivers for vista?
NVIDIA only offers a driver back to Win 8.

398.11_Vista is the file

When I was looking, that file was suggested for Win 7. However, there's no harm in trying it. I'm using a GTX 560, which is legacy these days. I use an older driver because both NVIDIA and Radeon dropped hardware acceleration support in their drivers for legacy cards about 3 years ago. I can go to later cards but it looks like the GTX 10 series and later is not very viable. Of course, I'm not using the extended kernal.

thank you everyone that has helped me so far (there's a good community here)

Are you able to use the 1030? If so, which driver did you use?

 

[Calameres]

I have the 1030 now I'm just waiting on the converter piece to make my monitor usable with it (the plug was wrong)

Let us know how it turns out.

i have the graphics card installed in my computer and it's up and running on my windows 10 install but I can find a driver for vista (for some reason the 1030 was left out of vista driver support) so now I just need to find a driver that work on vista

I think we've done the best we can to get a driver for Vista. Best you can do is try one of them.

there is one modified driver for the extended kernel but I'm using x32 bit vista so that won't help really

 

[Calameres]

and the graphics card is not then LPE (I miss spelled it)

GTX 750 would work. You can find one of those used on Ebay pretty cheap.

Why are you running 32 bit Windows if your processor is 64 bit? (also 64 bit windows runs faster than 32 bit)

im not using vista anymore (due to my graphics card does not support it (even on x64)

Just for clarification, are you installing Vista on a Win 10 system or are they separate computers?

 

[Calameres]

it's on a 2013 hp elite 8300 desktop (I have 2 hdd on it one with windows 7 and and a 1tb one that's empty right now)

I asked because the system specs listed in your posts say Vista86/Windows 10 LTSC. You said the GT 1030 is installed on your Win 10 system. I don't see a GPU installed on your desktop.

 

[Calameres]

the graphics card is installed on one computer (with the 2 hardrives) my hp elite is the only computer I have)

Well the little specs that appear under the underline on each of your posts still says Win10 LTSC. You also said above "

"i have the graphics card installed in my computer and it's up and running on my windows 10 install"

That's what is confusing.

Is the card working in Win 7?
