Hi, I recently acquired a GeForce 8800GTS 512m from an old GPU collection. It’s working fine, but it doesn’t appear in Task Manager on Windows 10 no matter what I try. I’m curious if this is similar to my Radeon setup—does Windows 10 no longer support it? Perhaps Linux or Ubuntu would work better, or maybe even Windows 8.1 could be an option. I’m not keen on Windows XP or any older versions. My main goal is to run modern games, which means Minecraft and Roblox should be possible. Since that’s the only use case right now, the best CPU I have is an Athlon 64 X2, and I’ve already contacted a support team about it.

Nvidia provides a Windows 10 driver for their product, though the 2016 release might not fully align with newer Windows 10 versions. It appears to be labeled as WHQL.

No, it won't appear in the TA and performs poorly.

performs poorly across various metrics; evaluated through multiple testing scenarios.

TA isn't visible in the task manager because the driver is too old for that feature. In this modern game, performance might be quite poor.
