"It is a Windows driver installed and updated by Windows. That was noted in your thread in the other forum."
Yes, I THOUGHT that that's what system driver meant, but I had to clarify for specificity's sake.
Yes, 23.21.13.9135- IS the driver I have installed.
Refer Attachment "$20210124-jan~Graphics_Driver_Dtls.jpg".
If I DO have the driver installed for Win10, that would explain a lot.
However, I thought Install pkgs checked for compatability, O/S, etc?
From where are you picking up on mine being for Win10?
I have checked the .TXT files and some of the .INF files & cannot find a reference to Win10, only "Windows NT".
I downloaded the new driver again, from where I usually do, & will dutifully install it (after removing current), but everything I see in Device Mgr points to all being OK; no yellow "!" marks, etc.
Also, the graphics card is recognised accurately & is listed as the correct card.
For new driver details, SEE "$20210124-jan~Nvidia_Drvr_Dwnld-v391.35-#01.jpg"
& "$20210124-jan~Nvidia_Drvr_Dwnld-v391.35-#02.jpg"
Doing a Compare of the 2 pkgs with Beyond Compare ($20210124-jan~Nvidia_Drvr_COMPARE-Old_vs_New.jpg) shows all the same details.
The file sizes are exactly the same, only the file dates are different.
The file name really says it all, unless Nvidia have made a HUGE stuffup, which has gone unnoticed for 2 YEARS.
I will let you know how the install goes, and the after effects, if any.

Now what exactly will be the effect of NO H/W acceleration?
It seems to me that, for playing games, this is exactly what a graphics card is for, apart from displaying the game in the 1st place, if it doesn't do that then the power of the card is rendered impotent; a 1080T Ti will perform no better than a 560 Ti.
Is that not the case?
Also, I suppose, is it better to have H/W acceleration & old drivers or the latest driver & no H/W acceleration?
I went to the USA URL you mentioned & the details are VERY different compared with the UK site.
The RELEASE HIGHLIGHTS & the ADDITIONAL INFORMATION show completely different information to the same tabs on the UK site.
Also, the 560 is not mentioned at all. All the cards seem to be Notebook-based.
ALL the details above the tabs are exactly the same; Version, Release Date,
Operating System and File Size.
The only detail that is different is the Language: English (UK), instead of
English (US).
This is the main reason I use the UK sites, in all my S/W, if I can.
