Ok, here is a super fast blip review of the Palit 3050 KalmX 6Gb video card.
I decided to purchase this card, just to have a spare on the shelf if for some reason my 3090Ti will freak out in the future. Previously i already wrote about [the most fastest passively cooled GPU]
, but now we have a new champion. The upgrade is not huge, but it is worth it in the end of the day.
UPDATED ON: 2026-07-30 You will see Windows 7 benchmarks in a while if i’ll be able to launch this beast under the Windows 7 wing
¶ PREFACE NOTE Alright, this is the final multicore beast, operating on the mighty Windows 7. While it is possible to run a Threadripper 7995WX or even a 9995WX, I am not going to do that. This isn’t just because of the insane prices, but also due to the enormous TDP (>350W) of modern high-performance CPUs and my sheer lack of desire to mess around with water cooling solutions.
I am pretty satisfied with the performance of full-screen applications on my EVGA 3090Ti card. But recently i stumbled upon very curios note by Canonkong the author of [modern USB3 drivers]
for AMD-based CPUs. He mentioned interesting fact that Windows 7 users [can enhance performance]
of their 3XXX cards even further by enabling re-sizable bar support in BIOS. Also you should enable Above 4G decode option in BIOS at the same time.
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.
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.
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.
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.
