Also, the nVidia website may have later versions, which you can test with. Trying to expose the Intel GPU is unnecessary, unless your Mac's discrete GPU is not working.

thanks for the response


1- My gt 330m doesn't work in bootcamp ,i have an error in device manager that says "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)" just like the person in the thread.


2- Yes ,in macOS the card work properly ,i only have this problem in windows


3- My windows version is 8.1 64bit


4- My macOS vertion is high sierra on a 2010 17' macbook pro


disabling Intel integrated graphics and putting Nvidia as the main VGA is the only solution i found online in 15 days of searching ,but im not a tech savvy and i dont know how to do it because Macbooks dont have BIOS

Yes ,i have installed the Boot Camp drivers for my model ,it didn't work so removed them and i installed the boot camp assistant drivers with no success , i installed every release of Nvidia drivers for my graphic card but it still shows me an error.

My Mac's discrete GPU is not working ,it shows the same error ,i can't do any GPU related work because of this ,so disabling the Intel GPU to make the Nvidia card work is not a problem for if it let me do GPU intensive work.

This screen shows Windows 10/EFI Boot on a preUEFI (2010 Mac). You have W8.1/? (? is for EFI or BIOS). In Windows, run msinfo32 and post the value of BIOS Mode.


The steps are manipulating PCIe settings. They are specific to disabling Intel GPU VGA under Ubuntu. You are trying to address nVidia under W8.1. Be careful.
