Infinity7 Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Windows 8 Release Preview which came out today accepts installing NVidia Windows 7 driver 301.42 downloaded from NVidia without the need to boot up with Driver Signature Enforcement disabled and without the need for a modified inf file. Probably can do that with other driver versions as well. A look inside DXDIAG reveals that Windows 8 recognizes the driver as being WHQL but it is still seen as being WDDM 1.1.

mobilenvidia Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 To install modded 302.71 and modded IDT drivers I had to disable signature :impatient: Does the driver still work after a reboot ?

coolguy16 Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 I still have to install the modded 301.42 driver for my Vaio. This driver is better than the WDDM 1.2 Microsoft 296.65 driver. The scrolling in IE was jerky with the 296.65 driver. GPU-Z doesn't show the clock speeds with MS driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas_kc Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 Installing 302.71 using "disable driver signing" works like a charm after rebooting. Did it in CP and now in RP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
