Windows 8 on WS460c Gen8

gregersenj — Wed, 20 Aug 2014 02:33:53 GMT

I need windows 8 / 8.1 drivers for WS460c Gen8.

Espcially the Nvidia driver.

There's no official windows 8 drivers on hp.com.

Thanks

OK..this is officially not supported; but you know that already..!!

Try the driver of Server 2012. It should work.

Thanks,

Did you try the drivers from nvidia directly?

If this is a "normal" PCIe card in the expansion chassis, the desktop driver should apply, I guess.

Drivers for your card and os version are listed there.

They have win 7,8 and 8.1 in the same bundle.

Example:

http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/77637/en-us

BTW, I noticed a new download option there, drivers for blade embedded cards (actually notebook MXM cards for the WS460c Gen8 expansion blade with a unique product id (different from notebook and desktop)).
