## Security and transparency
You can remove digital signature from my files (use [UnSign ](https://github.com/SV-Foster/UnSign) or [SigRemove](https://dennisbabkin.com/sigremover/). Repeat this with the original files from the NVIDIA distribution. Now compare the files byte by byte (`fc /b original.dll patched.dll`). You will see that the files are identical, only a small number of bytes have changed. In this regard, I can't remove the "virus" (which doesn't exist) from the driver. Please report your antivirus manufacturer about the false positive.

It's recommended to use Windows 11 because it has an updated mechanism for switching between multiple video cards.

1. Download patched files from [releases](https://github.com/dartraiden/NVIDIA-patcher/releases) (you can find an archive of previous versions [here](https://disk.yandex.ru/d/5LO4wqy177XZyw)).

* [latest](https://github.com/dartraiden/NVIDIA-patcher/releases/latest) — if you want to use your card in pair with any AMD/Intel graphic or any supported NVIDIA discrete graphic.
* 472.12 — if you want to use mining card in pair with old NVIDIA discrete graphic (GeForce 600 Series, GeForce GT 710-740, GeForce GTX 760-780 Ti).
* 446.14 — if you want to use mining card (only PXXX, not CMP-cards) in SLI setup (see [SLI hack](#SLI-hack)).

## SLI hack
It is possible to pair together different GPUs of similar generation/architecture to work together in SLI (Note: Mixing different VRAM sizes may cause some instability or stop SLI from functioning properly). It can also enable SLI on some non SLI/Crossfire compatible motherboards, making it a replacement for the now discontinued HyperSLI program (Note: The SLI support on non multi-GPU motherboards is not guaranteed).

Thus, for example, GTX 1070 and GTX 1080 can work together, but GTX 960 and GTX 1060 cannot.

## Troubleshooting
* Problem: A BSOD after installing the driver.
* Problem: Antivirus software removes driver.
Solution: Add the `C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore` directory to the exceptions of Windows Defender (or other antivirus you use). Reinstall the driver after that.

# If you don't trust me and want to patch the driver yourself, see [how to use patcher](/docs/README-PATCHER.md).
