Question 1

does this card with Turing GPU run on older PCs,  2010 to 2013, (before W8 came out) many say no. 
if true why not say that in the spec.?

Accepted Answer

The age of the PC and components should not matter to the GPU, other than being less powerful and less efficiently working with the GPU.

You can run ray tracing with this GPU on a 10 yr old PC, if you want. The newer features of this GPU won't have any problem being utilized, even if the components on the PC are significantly older.

I do suggest you run windows 10, though. You can get a cheap (and legitimate) licence on ebay for only a few dollars, and download the free USB installation from windows. In fact, you can install windows 10 for free using the free USB installation from windows without the licence first, and just activate it later.
