After running Easy GPU PV, cannot install nVidia driver #274

Greetings, I created a Win10 VM on my Win11 host (with nVidia RTX2080), then ran Easy GPU PV (after reading and re-reading). All worked fine (except VM would not start with Checkpoints enabled, so had to disable Checkpoints).

I then ran an older nVidia driver (418.91 and also tried 425.31, and then tried the newest driver for RTX2080 Windows 10 - 531.68).

However after running the the driver installation, during the driver's "check system compatibility", it always returns this error: "This NVIDIA graphics driver is not compatible with this version of Windows. This graphics driver could not find compatible graphics hardware".

This is really disheartening, because I am a 3D photographer, and rely on old Windows 10 nVidia driver that supports nVidia 3D Vision. I was really hoping to be able to run 3D Vision in the Windows 10 VM, and have Win11 running at the same time, since it is so much faster than Win10.

However, something else must be wrong as well, since even the newest driver won't install.

Any ideas for getting the nVidia driver to install?

Many thanks! Howard

You do not install graphics drivers in the GPU-PV VM. Part of the script specially copies the drivers on the host OS. The OS version and the graphics drivers used must be in-sync between the host and it's VM, else you'll risk BSoDs and other unexpected behaviour.

You can install your driver on the host and use the script provided in the repo to repeat the "install" on the VM.

Thanks very much for the quick reply! I was finally able to get my RTX 2080 driver's copied over to my windows 10 VM.  Took me all day yesterday to figure it out. However, I could not get the Nvidia 3D vision control panel to install - it keeps saying it can't find Nvidia gpu.  And without being able to install the control panel, I don't think I can get 3D to work. My plan was to host Win 10 VM (with old 3D driver) on my Win 11 "real" OS.  Sadly, it does not appear doable. But again, thanks so much for the quick reply. Cheers!Howard
