Modder SupraGSX has released a custom Nvidia ForceWare 382.69 driver that adds Pascal and Maxwell GPU support to Windows XP 32-bit, according to tomshardware.com. The release extends modern graphics hardware compatibility to the legacy operating system.

It is based on the 368.81 driver, pulls card firmware from Quadro 376.84 drivers and Video Protected Region support from Windows 7 GeForce 378.78.
