TITAN Xp Finally Runs on Windows XP Thanks to a Modded NVIDIA Driver

A modder going by SupraGSX has released an unofficial Windows XP driver on GitHub that adds support for NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 10-series "Pascal" graphics cards, including the TITAN Xp. Called Forceware 382.69, it is a patched version of NVIDIA's 368.81 driver from July 2016 and only works on 32-bit Windows XP. The timing is a bit funny, since NVIDIA ended regular driver support for Pascal last year and later dropped the cards from its 590 driver branch. However, Forceware's latest release covers the GTX 1060, GTX 1070, GTX 1070 Ti, GTX 1080, GTX 1080 Ti, TITAN X (Pascal) and TITAN Xp, along with some GTX 900-series and Quadro cards.

It also adds DisplayPort 1.4 HBR3 and HDMI 2.0 handling. SupraGSX notes that these are INF additions, and that not every model was individually validated. The October 4 build fixes OpenGL crashes on Pascal, which was verified on a GTX 1080 Ti. Support for GP107 cards such as the GTX 1050 Ti is experimental and untested on real hardware. X user @TheBobPony, who shared a GPU-Z screenshot of a GTX 1080 running on Windows XP, described the driver as "vibe coded." That claim remains unconfirmed currently, as the project's README and release notes make no mention of AI tools. Readers are cautioned to keep unverified drivers off their primary PCs, AI-coded or otherwise. Still, the effort deserves some credit, if only for keeping the Xp on XP meme alive.

I wonder if it works with the Quadro P6000? On paper it should if the Xp works. I have to try it on my X99 machine asap

Edit: Oh, listed as compatible! Mmmhmm! Hopefully it's that easy, I currently have my XP image on my 2010 Mac mini and it's hardly a speed demon :p

Tested a 64-bit one last night with very mixed results, some workloads work, many crash and some bluescreen.

THis also seems to be 32-bit only, but I'm keen to see if it can progress to stable support on both 32 and 64 bit versions.

My question is: Why? Using similar modded drivers, a GTX 980 or 980ti gives performance that will make anything that runs on XP smooth as silk, I speak from experience. So why Pascal? A 1060-3GB would be kinda cool, but a 1060 proper, a 1070 or 1080 are just overkill, even at higher resolutions.

And windows XP was the best operating system (for Me ;)) cause of how You could butcher it and it still worked :D

That's fair. However, practical usage? XP will still only see the first 3.75GB of VRAM so performance is going to be limited to what can fit in that memory stack. XP 1440p gaming will work, but will also be limited. So for gaming on XP, 1080p really is optimal. And as I said, a GTX980 is more than enough for anything that will run on XP.

Right there with you. I kinda miss that aspect of it.

It was my favourite. Used it for 14 years.

Windows XP, and not even the 64-bit edition? The 32-bit version was neither performant nor stable.

And yes;
Now, please, "RTX. IT'S ON." under the codename Longhorn, aka Windows Vista.

Can't do it?
#Backports!

Other way around, actually.

Arguably, the 32-bit version was the "true" Windows XP, since the x64 Edition was Server 2003 under the bonnet. There was the "true" 64-bit Itanium version but that wasn't popular or widely used.

Experiences can vary so much. Personally, I had no complaints about "Vista" either.

Great news! I needed this in order to upgrade my GFX because I use dual-boot and was capped to TITAN X (Maxwell). Thanks to NVIDIA that they cut their users auditory and not going to effectively earn money from all variaty of users.

Inf modding and the ability to force unsigned or self signed drivers to run was how many mods were ran back in those days.

My best guess is that since the drivers went maintenance mode a lot of people starting dumping their cards on the market, which made them cheap and accessible

Yes, Itanium got both the original 2002 Version based on the Windows XP "2600" codebase and the 2003 Version based in the Server 2003 "3790" codebase. The "x64" AMD64 only got the release of the Server 2003 based version, but to be honest Windows Server 2003 compared to Windows XP always was more secure, stable and reliable than Windows XP for me, specially before Service Pack 2 for Windows XP.

Server 2003 was a big improvement over XP's buggy codebase; it had more time after XP was forked for RTM, and ended up using more stringent testing practices. It is fortunate that the original, disastrous, XP-based Longhorn was scrapped in favour of Server 2003.

I actually built a Win XP PC this year (i5-760, 2x2 GB DDR3-1600) and put a GTX 950 in it. At 1080p, Crysis can't keep locked 60 FPS even without MSAA. Far Cry 2 also drops below 60 FPS with MSAAx8, and it's close to the limit with MSAAx4. Even those old games can be demanding if you max everything out.

I might try a GTX 1060 with these drivers. It's over twice as fast and very efficient (which is what I was going for with the 950).

My primary intention with this PC was to use it with a CRT monitor (which means the resolution would be lower than 1080p), but I haven't been able to find a nice one yet.

While that is a fair point, you just compared a GTX 950 to a GTX 980, two GPU's which are not in same class of performance. That's like comparing a Ferrari Enzo to a Toyota Camry.

What a headache, Windows XP SP3 won't install on a X99 board unmodified, at least not with a 44-thread CPU installed

So little time to figure it all out but it looks like a slipstreamed image will be necessary to even attempt the feat

DrUsmanSaleemIt also adds DisplayPort 1.4 HBR3 and HDMI 2.0 handling.
To me this is the biggest feature. Nvidia's official drivers won't let you run past 1440p85 on Displayport and 1080p60 HDMI. If this lets you run the higher resolutions and refresh rates on those two standards, even on any of the lower cards supported, that's great. Being able to run a 1080Ti and dual boot XP/7 is just gravy then.

Also, I never had issues with WinXP 64-bit. Mature drivers exist for all the hardware I would use on it. I ran that for a few years before going straight to Windows 7, skipping Vista altogether.

I still want one or two of those....
