Founder Michael Posted February 25, 2013 Founder Share Posted February 25, 2013 assuming you extracted to the default location you need to place the file under C:\NVIDIA\DisplayDriver\314.07\Win8_WinVista_Win7_64\International\Display.DriverAgree to overwrite when prompted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masterbrgr Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 So it worked for Windows 7 on my M4 C400 256GB but, I installed Windows 8 on an M4 C400 512GB with 040H firmware. I disabled the driver signing through cmd and the Graphics Installation still fails. Is there a step I'm missing? Its a clean OS with no drivers, are there drivers I need to install prior to installing the graphics driver? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Masterbrgr Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Running fluidmark and the GPU load for GPU 2 is stuck at 0%. Tried setting the physx in the NVIDIA control panel to GPU 2 but I get the same issue. GPU 1 is stuck at 99% GPU load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried setting the physx in the NVIDIA control panel to GPU 2 but I get the same issue. GPU 1 is stuck at 99% GPU load.Probably because you haven't activated SLI yet in the nvidia control panel or the program is running in windowed mode. Check both.
