will this work with windows 8

Yes, it is compatible with windows 8 and 8.1 and now has directx 11.2 support with the newest driver update. Just to inform you, the r9 270x is the exact same GPU with faster GDDR5 memory and the r9 270 is worth a look too. There may be better options out there for $200 especially considering this was $150 on the egg two weeks ago. Happy buying!

It works with Windows 8 and 8.1. as well. I had Windows 8 when I first bought it and upgraded to 8.1 and it still worked perfectly.

I'm afraid I can't answer that question. I use it with Windows 7.But I don't see any reason why it shouldn't work with Windows 8. I also use it with Linux, and it works fine there.

It worked with my windows 7 so yes it has to work with windows 8 as windows 7 is the base program for w8.

I'm using it with Windows 8.1. It'll work but it will tell you it needs to download some software i.e. drivers from Microsoft first.

I have windows 7, and mine worked just fine. I'm not sure about windows 8 though. Hope that helps!

Yes. However, the software that shipped with mine did not work with Windows 8, so you'll have to find other software elsewhere, if that is your OS.

as long as you don't have windows 8 it should work fine. I hate it that I can't get it to work on mine with Windows 8 so solutions so far...

I have an HP laptop running Windows 8.1. I plugged the drive in and it immediately started working. I would say yes, it will work with Win 8.

Yes but maybe not out of the box. I had issues with it on Windows 7 and 8 but with a little research and screwing around with the drivers, it will work.
