First, that link is a 2021 build date, and the M2A system was released more recently than that. Second, I won't claim techpowerup is a bad site, but it's not an official site like NVIDIA or the hardware manufacturer's direct link. Third, even if the file was valid, it's probably generic and not specific to the GPU in the system, and could cause issues (including hardware failure).
And lastly, is there a specific fix you're looking to get by installing this file? I used to love installing "day one updates" as soon as they are released, but I've been burned enough by new app updates, OS patches, and hardware drivers that break more than they fix, that I try to avoid patching just because something is new. If there's a specific problem you're trying to resolve, then post about it or contact tech support to let them know, and they should be able to release an update to address it.
just out of curiosity: do you work for acemagic or do you have any kind of relationship with them?
btw i managed to upgrade the vBios and seems that the flickering i was getting on the second monitor disappears ( on the HDMI port )
i've also tried to modify the HW_ID: tried a few times to install drivers directly from the app and seems to works ...i'm just waiting on the next nvidia drivers update to see if it will be installed without error
I hope it's clearer now what problem i was trying to resolve
peace! \o
Re: need some help to understand the correct display configuration
I work in the tech industry, cybersecurity/IT field specifically, but I'm simply a customer of acemagic, and a user on these forums. I simply like helping people.
I bought my first miniPC in 2021 and started building up a collection since then. I have so many devices (phones, tablets, computers, laptops, ISOs, etc etc), it drives my wife crazy.
I've had plenty of success and failures with installing unsupported software on systems, both from personal and professional experiences. I rarely suggest that other people take risks, but I take plenty of my own, and have bricked devices to prove it.
Yep, sounds like you're having more success than failure, at least, so congrats on making it further. If I actually had an M2A, I'd probably do the same thing. The nice thing about OS's and drivers is how rare it is to permanently damage the hardware, as long as you avoid firmware updates.maxxam80 wrote: ↑Thu Nov 28, 2024 9:31 pmbtw i managed to upgrade the vBios and seems that the flickering i was getting on the second monitor disappears ( on the HDMI port )
