Now, you may wonder what this has to do with any 'retro' setup, but I figured win7 is rather old by now, and this is a pre-emptive preparation for future decades(!), to maximize options for years to come, so.....
(kinda like using a GTX 780 TI etc for WinXP)

I was looking at drivers for various RTX3000 cards on https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/drivers/ .

Trying to figure out which cards actually has drivers for Win7 64bit.

Apparantly RTX 3050 series has NONE.... (??)
And ALMOST all others got their support cut off in September 2021, last driver being 472.12.

But, what I am wondering about here, is why does the RTX 3090 Ti have (only 1 !) driver for Win7 that is dated just a few days ago ?! 😲
(this is NOT just a security update, but a full driver apparantly)

Perhaps this is just an error on the site, but... the filename is very specific, so odds are this IS really a (NEW) driver for Win7 (!)

Wonder if that can be used on other cards as well....
