RTX no Win8 drivers?

[Johnny Who]

So i got my 2060 in today and went to download drivers only to notice that RTX doesnt support win8? What should i do, can i use win7 drivers for now ?

 

OR would it be better of upgrading to win10 and is it still free?

The Windows 7 driver works on Windows 8 but keep in mind you won't be able to enable RTX. You should look at getting a Windows 10 copy it is extremely cheap on grey market websites.

rtx is an technology developed for win 10.

 

@schwellmo92 is correct you need to go to windows 10.

it should sill be free to upgrade

Upgrade to Windows 10. Just type in your current Windows license (even if it is Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1) after you installed Windows 10 in the Settings menu, then it should activate just fine.

Thanks for the help. Managed to upgrade to win10, hasn't asked my for a license key so guessing it just took the one that was already in the system from win8.

It's a free upgrade from 8, no key necessary.
