For Summer 2017, the link https://reactos.org/wiki/Supported_Hardware/Video_cards was recently updated. Someone did a test for GPU = NVIDIA Geforce 6600. Test was done for ReactOS 0.4.5 but with a workaround to install/use native NVIDIA driver.

Reading that on Friday 13Oct2017 I took decision to try a pretty old card I have at home. GFX 3450. I was pretty surprised to see that it works using workaround for the NVDisp.nvu file.



Screenshot from Device Manager - Listed as GFX3450 using native driver

Once driver installed you may have better resolutions 1920x1080@60Hz and over

Don't expect to play some 3D games

This is only usefull for a standard office station

1920x1080@60Hz

Tests for some old drivers for Quadro FX 3450

it is nice and fun to have a resolution

After some researchs on the Web I found the link for archived drivers for quadro : http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp-2k_archive.html. I tried a couple of drivers. Below are the results of my tests

Driver Results 169.06 Installation without any problem. Workaround for NVDisp.nvu file is useless

file is useless BSOD while rebooting the PC -- "Restart" option

No issue for "control panel" 181.20 Installation without any problem. Workaround for NVDisp.nvu file is useless

file is useless Issue for control panel: Panel will not appear if you click on "control panel" 182.65 Issue for control panel: Panel will not appear if you click on "control panel"

Drivers are far from perfect. That being said, I will recommend either driver 162.65 or 169.06
