When installing latest drivers for Nvidia videocards in Windows 7 you may encounter error code 52 in the device manager ending up with non-working device.
To fix annoying problem in a simple way follow these steps:
Download latest driver [v475.14]
[Jul 09, 2024] and decompress software by means of [7-zip]
Open extracted folder, locate the Display.Driver folder and delete nvlddmkm.sy_ file inside Download [hacked version]
||| [Mega mirror]
, and place nvlddmkm.
Not so long ago i stumbled upon a very nice [sadly abandoned] YT channel dedicated to retro hardware. In showcased video author reviewed [Rendition Verite]
, a deeply flawed card which had the distinction of being the first “programmable graphics processor” or GPU for the IBM PC compatible computers. It was also pretty much the only card that could compete with the Voodoo1 when it was released. Also make sure to check [other videos of the channel]
, they are very high-quality in terms of material presentation.
It looks like we have reached the very last driver for the Nvidia 3XXX series of graphics cards. They promised that the final revision of the driver will see the light of day in late September. As of early October, the latest version of the driver is [v475.14]
, released on July 9. But I have a feeling that Nvidia will release another very final version later on, if this is true I’ll update post accordingly.
¶ INTRO WORDS Numbers, numbers, numbers … i say NUMBERS!!!!
It’s been a while since i ran into the craze of pointless benchmarks. And now I’m back with the absolute procrastination stuff. Are you happy with this?
Take a note that 3DMark 03, 3DMark 05, 3DMark 06, 3DMark Vantage [2007], 3DMark 2011 and 3DMark 2021 are not marked by ▒ sign, showing the fact that these programs lost the soul of demoscene and just providing comparison numbers, nothing else.
Following instructions successfully tested with [Geforce RTX 3090Ti]
on recent [474.66 driver]
[October 2023]. In newer operating systems things could be entirely different.
It’s been a fair amount of time since I’ve written about privacy related stuff. In early days ~2017 nvidia was not so obsessed with telemetry. Everything you should do to block their efforts is to run [Disable Nvidia Telemetry]
.
As time goes on things changed dramatically.
In my newly purchased [Lenovo X1 Carbon]
i run into screen tearing issues during web or local video playback with classic windows theme turned on.
GOOD EXAMPLE OF SCREEN TEARING PHENOMENON I messed around with different video driver settings, under the hood browser parameters, fine-tuning other various tweaks without any changes for good. To my surprise solution was pretty straightforward.
JUST TURN ON AERO THEME TO SAVE YOUR EV▓NING! Aero interface is rendered by Desktop Windows Manager [DWM].
Since i’ve switched to [fanless GPU]
from Nvidia and began to monitor Windows 7 driver related news. So, here is a [link to the latest]
to date Windows 7 driver .
It’s really neat to hear that Nvidia is not dropping driver support for Windows Classics
. Red team from AMD can’t demonstrate such coolness in this category.
Lastest GPU drivers for Windows 7 will be available [here]
.
[GeForce 1650Ti]
is the fastest passively cooled GPU avaialable on market. It was made by Palit company and carries KalmX branding. Recently, i finished my Blender investigations and that is why i don’t need [Radeon 6900xt]
power anymore. So, i decided to switch to something without fan with decent performance. KalmX design solely relies on massive radiator.
Despite the fact that device doesn’t have any fans it provides pretty good performance.
Like leaksters say Radeon 6950XT refresh will bring new 18Gbbs memory sub-system and [8-10% to performance]
. I’ve decided not to involve myself into GPU race and stick with plain 6900XT. It is a performance banger under Windows 7 environment. spacedrone808 @Adobe spacedrone808 @Freepik

Described issue related to Windows 7 and modern AMD-based GPU’s. Some users on Reddit [have reported]
,that there is a problem with modern Radeon cards. Core of the problem: sometimes monitor can’t wake up from sleep state and shows up no signal message, despite the fact that computer continues to operate. Keyboard input, sound output are working normally though.
Of course you can set Windows power management not to turn off monitor completely, but this will be quite a waste of energy.
