    Fixed. Nvidia don't want put up drivers for 20 series (Notebooks). All push for Windoze 10 nowadays. But as usual 20 series Desktop cards get the proper Win 7 love. Can you see where Nvidia stand in the pict? :rolleyes:

    The install failed twice on the DL I grabbed from NV directly failed twice. 441.08 I DL'd from a thread here worked.

    Replaced 430.64, which [...if I remember] also failed on first install. NV must be wanting me to upgrade or something.

    Edit: I'm not a fan of this Low-Latency Mode replacing the Prerendred Frames selector. Mostly because it's all [1-4] or nothing [1] ...or Ultra nothing.

    Were they DCH or Standard versions and/or did you ever need to use custom INF in the past?

    I'm still on 8.1 ...so I don't have that DCH confusion and I've never used a modded driver on this card [...or bios].

    @Papusan or anyone , is anyone familiar with adding adding a GPU to the infs ? On my Lenovo y740 with the rtx2070 maxq , any driver above 365.15 I'm getting the "this driver is not compatible with this version of Windows" . The only thing I can think of is that the infs don't have the ID matching my GPU.

    This is what happens on my Legion Y545 if I try to install the standard GPU driver. I need to use the DCH version. Try that. If the DCH version is what gives you the error, install the standard driver. The different types are linked above.

    I have tried every driver both DCH and Standard. Only Lenovo Drivers and j95's modded drivers will install.
