This modification only needs to be carried out on Windows XP, as the GTX TITAN X was not natively supported by Nvidia there. Compared to the RetroBooks driver mod for the Quadro 2000M MXM card, this procedure is virtually harmless.
I found the information on this page (archive.org).
The latest official driver from 2016 for Windows XP can be downloaded here (archive.org) from Nvidia.
Let’s go…
As described in the linked tutorial, only one file needs to be modified. Notepad++ is again useful for this.
First, proceed as if you were simply installing the downloaded driver. This setup will abort after a short period of activity, displaying the message “No compatible graphics hardware found.”
Then navigate to the folder where the graphics driver was extracted, usually something like “C:\NVIDIA\DisplayDriver\368.81\WinXP\International” and locate the file “nv4_dispi.inf”.
For additional compatibility with Nvidia GTX 970, GTX 980, GTX 980 Ti, GTX TITAN X and Quadro M6000 graphics cards, edit the following in this file:
First, in the section
[NVIDIA_Devices.NTx86.5.1]The following should be added at the end:
%NVIDIA_DEV.13C2% = Section008, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_13C2
%NVIDIA_DEV.13C0% = Section008, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_13C0
%NVIDIA_DEV.17C8% = Section008, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_17C8
%NVIDIA_DEV.17C2% = Section008, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_17C2
%NVIDIA_DEV.17F0% = Section012, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_17F0Subsequently, in section
[Strings]Add the following:
NVIDIA_DEV.13C2 = "NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970"
NVIDIA_DEV.13C0 = "NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980"
NVIDIA_DEV.17C8 = "NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti"
NVIDIA_DEV.17C2 = "NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN X"
NVIDIA_DEV.17F0 = "NVIDIA Quadro M6000"That’s it?
Yes. Now save the file and restart the installation using the usual “setup.exe”. It will now run successfully as desired.
