Macbook Pro Late 2008 Drivers Problem

Hi fellow cell masses

 

I have an old Macbook Pro 15" (late 2008) I got for free, and I installed a small SSD and Windows 10 (no bootcamp, just used a regular USB instllation disk) and so far everything works flawlessly except video drivers.

 

This macbook has a Geforce 9600m GT as well as a Geforce 9400m in "hybrid SLI", which apparently is unsupported with current drivers. I tried installing the drivers that do support it (280.26) but it tells me they're not compatible with the operating system. And trying to disable one of the cards while leaving the other one on just makes the one that's on give error 45 (device not connected)

 

Can anyone help?

Specs: CPU: AMD Ryzen R7 3700X @4.4Ghz, GPU: Gigabyte RX 5700 XT, RAM: 32 GB (2x 8GB Trident Z Royal + 2x 8GB TForce Vulkan Z) @3000Mhz, Motherboard: ASRock B550m Steel Legend, Storage: 1x WD Black 1Tb NVMe (boot) + 1x Samsung 860 QVO 1Tb SSD (storage), Case: Thermaltake Core V21, Cooler: Noctua NH-D15
