Not a port issue
Standalone Operation (Laptop Only)
Are you running your mainboard as a standalone device. Is standalone mode enabled in the BIOS?
Describe the bug
I am unable to update the drivers for the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 with 12GB VRAM to a newer version from Nvidia. It is stuck on version 596.49 (released May 12) which was included in the Framework driver bundle, but the latest version from Nvidia is 610.88 (released July 28). Whether trying to use the standalone driver installer or the Nvidia App, it just results in errors.
Steps To Reproduce
For the Nvidia App, go to the section for Drivers. No matter how many times you hit refresh, it won't say that an update is available. And even if you try to use the Nvidia App to reinstall the current drivers, it'll just result in an error.
If you attempt to use the standalone driver installer downloaded from Nvidia's website, it'll just stop at the first step and say it could not find compatible hardware
Expected behavior
The expected behavior is that I should be able to update to the latest drivers from Nvidia, as was possible with the 8GB version of the RTX 5070.
Screenshots
Cannot install with the standalone driver installer:
Nvidia App shows no updates available:
Nvidia App runs into an error when trying to reinstall:
