AGA, Nvidia RTX 3080, Geforce error code 31 & API
I have an Alienware 17 R3, Nvidia 3080 and AGA (Alienware Graphics Amplifier). I received my 3080 today and cannot get it to work with my computer and/or monitors hooked up to it. I have the most recent 456.55 Game ready driver from Nvidia and the latest updates for Win10 Home. The card is recognized in Device Manager but has a warning triangle in front of the icon. Device manager states:
This device is not working properly because Windows cannot locate the drivers required for this device. (Code 31) Insufficient system resources exist to complete the API.
I’ve searched high and low and can’t find anything that helps. I have already tried to completely uninstall the Nvidia drivers and reinstall the latest ones. Tried Extern Driver update tools but nothing seemed to work. Is there anyone that knows the solution to this? already thanks for your time.

Scroll down - it's a common problem that at present has no solution. Given that many have tried multiple drivers, clean installs, and other software fixes, it's more likely the AGA needs a firmware update.
The question is, will there be one forthcoming, assuming it's possible to engineer one? No one knows the answer to that just yet, either.
