Think I screwed up by upgrading to win10 / rtx2080s

Recommended Posts

I have been out of FSX for quite a while for many personal reasons and tried to load it up without success yesterday. Let me explain that FSX lives on set of ssd's that I have to switch from WIN10 to WIN7 in the BIOS of my computer whenever i want to play FSX.  That had always worked without any problem until I switched to a RTX2080super from the old GTX980. I have recently been runing XPlane 11 on the WIN10 side and I am about fed up with it's ability to eat my resources and figured I would go back to FSX.

Anyhow when I switched to the WIN7 side I could not find any Nvidia drivers that were compatible with RTX2080s? Is this correct?  If so, is there a way to migrate FSX to the WIN10 system short of having to reload it and all of the mod's and payware again (that would be a near impossible task to find everything from years ago).

Am I missing something?

Unsure of the correct forum, please move it if necessary.

Thanks

Rick S.

I had no problem locating Win 7 drivers for the 2080 Super at www.geforce.com

Well, I will go back and try again, thanks.

 

Looked again and viola! I swear that was not available yesterday, told me no drivers.

Thanks again
