How can you be sure? Did you take the red pill or the blue pill?

Damn it, mine was green, no wonder i'm here and there.

So, Ampere, Navi and Intel (if it is/still is a thing) - going to have to start rationalising as to why I need an upgrade.

anyone know if the GTX3000 series will get win7/8 driver support?

the strange thing is that RTX 2000 series has drivers for Windows 7 and not 8. Windows 8.1is still in support but 7 eol and was near eol at time of rtx 2000 launch. I suspect nvidia are looking at usage stats and due to market share saw no reason for windows 8 /8.1. I can't imagine nvidia creating a driver for a new product for eol OS however windows 7 market share is still quite high so you never know. Google pulled chrome support for vista very quickly and around same time as XP. As the 2080 rtx super only has windows 10 support I think that answers the question.

Can't you use Windows 7 drivers in 8 / 8.1 ? Never used it, honest question.

I hope they at least include glitter to make it pretty.

RGB lighting is the glitter of the 21st Century

(and, no I'm not a fan of it either!)

All RTX2000 has desktop drivers for 7 including the 2080 super. where are you getting that from?
