i have a hp dv6 7010tx equipped with NVIDIA GEFORCE GT 630M.... .
i downloaded nvidia 301.42WHQL driver for it...during installation it shows hardware nt supported while according to official site it should !!
what to do???
Ideally the updates should be from OEM. Given the fact, not everything was working great with the drivers on hp site - for instance - Mpeg4s decoding using CUVID does not work with stock drivers.
So I too, went ahead and installed the latest 301.42 drivers. Guess what I was greeted with the exact error message as you are getting it now. By patching the hardware Ids, though, I succeeded in installing the new driver.
Video playback using CUVID is great now. Also video options show up in nVIDIA control panel.
But I would still urge you not to install this version. For a simple reason - Optimus switching does not work in this version. So, despite having a discrete GPU, I can't use it if I install 301.42!
Just to keep you guys posted. I installed beta driver 301.24. This is much better than 301.42.
Again, I had to patch my hardware ID against GT 555M. Upon doing so, I was able to install the entire package - Driver + Optimus + 3D Vision + PhysX.
Oh the good thing - Video playback using CUVID API is working perfectly - for all 4 supported codecs.
Feel free to give 301.24 a try if you have GT 6xx M series GPU!
