    Easy way is to just change the name for the corresponding VEN&DEV&SUBSYS entry at the bottom of the INF the driver installs from that I assume you either downloaded or edited yourself, and uninstall & reinstall the driver.

    If it runs as it should (benchmark it and compare) it is probably installing just fine as the 980 GXX it is, and not a Quadro Kepler with driver settings and feature sets which I imagine would cause stability or performance issues or a device error that would show in device manager (yellow triangle)
