Can I add Miracast support to Windows 10 Nvidia Quadro FX 880M?

[Raymond867]

Hi, I am trying to cast to my Roku Ultra but cannot because the graphics card (Nvidia Quadro FX 880M) says it does not support Miracst in dxdiag screen.  I have not been able to find any other driver that does support Miracast so far.

Is there a replacement / upgrade graphics card that I can install in the 8540W that does support it?

Hi:

Your notebook does not meet the minimum requirements for screen mirroring beyond the graphics card.

The processor isn't capable.

Here is the link to the system requirements to support screen mirroring/miracast/wireless display for Intel products.

Thanks for the reply,  I had a feeling that was going to be the case.

I know there are adapters for non compliant HDTV's to add miracast support, maybe there is something like that for the laptop side of the equation?  If not I guess it is a sign to upgrade to a new laptop!

Thanks again!

You're very welcome.

Yes, there might be some kind of USB adapter you can use.

I'm not well versed in that info, as I use an Andriod tablet to cast to my Roku.
