  "account": "Technophile SupraGSX has enabled Nvidia's Pascal-generation graphics cards, particularly 10-series and Quadro P2000-P6000 models, to function on Windows XP 32-bit systems. This enhancement offers modern capabilities for DisplayPort and HDMI handling. Notable supported cards include the GeForce GTX 970, 980, 980 Ti, TITAN X, GTX 1060, 1070, 1070 Ti, 1080, 1080 Ti, TITAN X (Pascal), and TITAN Xp. Quadro M4000, M5000, M6000, M6000 24GB, P2000, P2200, P4000, P5000, and P6000 are also supported, along with additional desktop OEM variants of GTX 950 and GTX 960. The driver, based on Forceware 382.69, inherits card firmware from Quadro 376.84 drivers and incorporates Video Protected Region support from Windows 7 GeForce 378.78. Though some sources suggest the project was coded in secret, the repository does not reveal any evidence of covert development. SupraGSX has added DisplayPort HBR2 and HBR3 support, HDMI 2.0 identification and mode-retry fail-safes, and improved scaling and aspect ratio settings in the Nvidia Control Panel. Initial testing indicates the new driver works well, particularly with ultrawide screens at high refresh rates. More information can be found in the project's README, and users can download the installer package from the releases section. Contributions and bug reports can be submitted through the Vogons forums. Those eager to breathe new life into their retro systems can download the installer package. Modders can review the extensive build instructions to create their custom modifications. As these are unofficial drivers, users should exercise caution and avoid installing them on systems where data integrity is a concern.",
