Enough of that. Because Windows 8 uses the same kernel as Windows 7 (and Vista) with a minor .x upgrade, you should just use the 7 drivers, as they'll most likely work.
Anyway, I don't understand why you would want to "upgrade" to W8 anyway. It's not good at all unless you have a touchscreen, and the performance gains are very minimal. Just stick with 7, trust me, you'll be happier.
- meaty 14y agoThat doesn't work for graphics drivers as there is a different driver model for Windows 8 than Windows 7.
