I'm using this card right now on a Windows 7 Pro 64-bit desktop, and it works great. I've got it hooked up to my HDMI television and a DVI monitor and I've never had any trouble with it recognizing either.

The driver for this video card should be on the Windows 7 installation disk, and should be installed automatically along with Windows 7. It won't be the absolute latest driver, but you can get the latest driver from either the nVidia or Windows Update websites after installation.

I have it working in dual boot with Windows 7 and Windows 10. It drives two of the three monitors on this eight-year-old machine.

SORRY..........Forget my last answer as I was referring to a Network Card. I love the Sparkle GeForce for my Windows 2000 system. I would go ahead an order it from Amazon and try it out. The good thing about Amazon is that if it doesn't work right you can always return it. Amazon is my number 1 place to make my purchases.

I am running Win7 Pro 64-bit on both my laptop and my main PC and its works great with both. However, you should be able to check the Samsung website to find compatibility issues with most, if not all versions of Windows Operating Systems. Sorry I couldn't have been more specific to your concerns. Microsoft as stopped offering updates for XP, so if you get a chance, you should update to Win7. I prefer Win7 over the new Win8. Win8 seems too invasive into your private life!

I never used the cd for the install on my XP machine. I just plugged the card in and let the OS install its own driver. Worked fine for me.

i checked on the site and it says it works with vista so it should work with windows 7 not sure if its compatible with windows 7 64bit though. if you do upgrade to windows 7 and get win7 pro it comes with a xp virtual machine so you could run anything that works with xp on it.

I used it on Windows 7 but it might be usable on windows XP. On a side not, I would not use XP and upgrade to Windows 7 soon because Microsoft will soon end updates for XP, meaning your computer will soon be prone to viruses if you do not upgrade. Happy New year.

Do you know that Creatacard Gold 3 will not operate on windows higher than XP. It is a wonderful program and I use it almost every day, however, I also have to run two computers. One for cards, envelopes, and address book etc. and a newer computer for everything else. I also have Creatacard 8 but it is worthless. Dean xp

I wouldn't advise it. Since Microsoft servers do not support a lot of XP systems anymore. I suggest upgrading to Windows seven.I have Windows 7 Ultimate and a great video card. If you do this, make sure your power supply in your pc can handle a better video card.Otherwise, you can damage your system.

Microsoft is about to quit providing any kind of support for Windows XP, including updating drivers and virus protection. I'm not 100% sure of the exact date, but I think it's sometime in April, 2014. While your asus certainly SHOULD have the power to run XP, I am not at all familiar with that machine. If it is a tablet or a netbook of some kind, I would advise you not to mess with it - unless you are VERY savvy when it comes to PC hardware and software installations. Otherwise, you run the risk of damaging your current software installation which may end up making it useless and certainly would void any warrantees you have on your machine.

Hi Paul, Yes, the card will work with Windows 7. This is a PCI card, so you will need to insert it in a free PCI slot on the mother board. Then, when you turn on your PC, Windows 7 should automatically detect the new card and download any new drivers that are need for it. In addition, there are free drivers available from the EVGA website. Good luck. Dave Stepaniak

The latest drivers on their website are rated for XP, but I haven't been able to find anyone who has tried them yet.

NO, I checked the wrong Card, actually this card will only work with Vista, windows 7, check out the other cards, The Audigy RX will work on windows XP!Steve

Yes, otherwise the card won't be seen by the OS when you start up. The card has worked flawlessly for me (Win8.1 Pro x64), and the drivers are recent from the company website.

I've run it on Windows 7, and can only testify to that OS. So, I would be surprised if it weren't compatible with XP. I don't know (and have my doubts) as to whether it would work on Windows 8.
