RTX 5060 metadata lookup

[jtbrough]

GPU metadata lookup failed error, this is a newer Gigabyte 5060 8GB low profile card.

GPU Name: 'GeForce RTX 5060' VendorId: 10DE | DeviceId: 2D05 | IsNotebook: False

Thanks for the great piece of software!

Hi, it appears you have a new GPU which our repo does not support yet.

I will ask @ZenitH-AT to check his data repo.

@jtbrough this is a workaround you can try. We are experimenting with a replacement method for GPU data.

Here's how:

1. Open the config file, by navigating to %localappdata%/Hawaii_Beach/TinyNvidiaUpdateChecker
2. Open app.config with your text editor of choice
3. Add the following:

<add key="Use Experimental Metadata" value="true" />

4. Save the file, and relaunch TNUC

Please try this new feature and report back. Thank you for the complenents, aswell.

Your config file should look like this:

Awesome, thank you for the clear instructions and workaround. That worked perfectly.

after adding:

<add key="Use Experimental Metadata" value="true" />

The checker runs happily:

TinyNvidiaUpdateChecker v1.22.1

Verifying internet connection . . . OK!

Searching for Update . . . OK!

Retrieving GPU information . . . OK!
There is no new GPU driver available, you are up to date.

Thanks for the quick update, aswell. Issue #252 will bring this behaviour as default.

For explanation: requesting driver info from NVIDIA is not so easy.

It's always been a mess.

But, recently, with this new, experimental repo, it solves these issues.

Please fix this problem.
New TinyNvidiaUpdateChecker update version.

No, this problem should be fixed in the new TinyNvidiaUpdateChecker version, which is the same program that can do this.
I don't know how to fix it because I have TinyNvidiaUpdateChecker.exe, which works directly without installation.
You also have to be interested in fixing the problems you report and not give users more work if you don't know how to fix the problems.

I currently have the latest TinyNvidiaUpdateChecker version 1.22.1. The new one should fix the error problem for all graphics cards. Thank you.
