What country are you in where 1080 is still sold new?
Hard to believe can't source updated driver, how are you searching?
I just searched 1080 driver, got 566.36 5/12/2024.
Description bug, site is US. Search Geforce drivers if not comfortable clicking it, go to official Geforce drivers and do manual search.

I see some on there for sale. I’d guess most of them are 3rd party sellers. I apologize you’re having trouble. The gtx 1080 is a very old card at this point, at least 6-7 years old I would say. If you just purchased the card I’d recommend to return it. Even something like the AMD rx 6600 or 7600 at the entry level should compete with a 1080 and be a lot newer.

It's not new. It has been released 8 years ago.
They're not making those for multiple years by now.
Anyway - go to geforce.com and download latest drivers compatible with your card.

Why are you apologizing exactly?
So you're the one we should blame, if we can't find drivers? Right? LOL

Make sure Windows is up to date. There should be no reason you cannot get a driver update for that card. Doing a manual search for your card, it gave me the latest driver to download, that was released 5 days ago.

Also verify card is real with gpuz. Shouldn't have a huge triangle with an explanation mark.

My computer is up to date. The driver that would not update was Dec 5, 566.36. I really don't know what I would gain from a new GPU. My graphics are fantastic. Oh well. They just want me to spend up to $2000.00 for a new GPU. Thanks to all.

If it's working fine, then there's no need to update drivers.
Just be ready - for older hardware driver support gets discontinued at some time.
But nobody cares, if you have latest/greatest hardware or not.

There could be a bug that causing it, in the install pack. Your card is listed as compatible. Nvidia isn't trying to get you to buy a new card. If that was the case, they would have dropped driver support completely.
