About this tag
The driver model tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about graphics driver compatibility and the Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM). Topics include installing NVIDIA Verde drivers for Windows 8 Preview on laptops, where OEM-specific drivers are recommended over reference drivers.
