Is this compatible with Windows 8.1 Pro x64? I have one available PCI-E slot (plus a few PCI), but my video card is slightly blocking it :(

This is a pci card not a pci-e, so if your pci slots are unobstructed it should work.

Yes. I have a dual boot Windows 7 Ultimate x64/Windows 8.1 Pro x64 machine and this device is 100% compatible with both operating systems. I have had this card for quite a while and have never had a single problem with it.

I have Windows 7 in 64bit. I have been told if a device works in 7 it will work in 8. I cannot confirm this however for me in win 7 64bit the device works fine and windows installed it without a hitch so I did not need the supplied driver disk which won't work anyway with Win 7. If I was you I would buy it and install it and if it will not work that would surprise me and its not very much in dollars to try it, as it does work good.

I am running windows 8.1 Pro 64 and have no issues with the card. Works great. I needed an internal USB slot and this card offered it at a great price.

i got it to work with win8.1 64 bit , which is a feat in and of itself ,. but if you have gone thru 2 cables already, are you sure you are not missing something ? have you tried the other cables with a different pc altogether .?

You need to be running a supported version of Windows Server or other OS that will let you use both cards at same time i.e. teaming as I described in my review. For some unexplained reason doesn't work with Windows 8.1 though.

Yes, all PCI x slots are compatible with one another. The slot ultimately controls the speed though, so it won't perform as quickly as it could. But honestly, you won't be able to tell the difference. Also, the other commenter may have just had a bad experience. This card is fantastic and I've never had a single issue.

The 600 series support Windows 8.1 64bits without any hassle. Download the latest drivers from the nvidia website after the proper installation. That's all you need.

Hi Harold, I'm going to assume that the reason us are using the forth slot on that board for you wireless network card is because you have a discrete GPU in slot one and you didn't want to have the wireless card that close to the GPU. It really doesn't matter which PCI-e slot you use with the card it will work in a X1, X4, X8 or in a X16 slot but since your board is crossfire/ SLI ready that means the slot you are using shares bandwidth with slot one. And since that motherboard doesn't have on-board video you have to be using a GPU. I'm not sure but you could be now forcing your first slot into operating at X8 instead of X16 by placing the PCI-e x1 card in the second PCI-e x16 slot.

I read on wikipedia that PCI-E 1.0 and 2.0 were backwards compatable. Only in "very rare cases" would they not work together. I, like you, am planning on getting this as an upgrade from the 8600 GTS.

This card works with Windows 8.1. Just make shure you have the latest drivers from AMD, not the card manufacturers.

What I see on the box says it is compatible with 3.0 motherboard, which means it's backward compatible. Should be just fine pci-e 2.0.

No, you MUST use a pci-e slot. I'm not a gamer so I cannot respond as to whether this is adequate for gaming scenarios.

Yes!!!! We have a Windows 7 64 bit and a Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit working just fine with this card...

There is only one PCI-e slot available on my 775 an 800Mhz processor and a maximum of 8g of ram. With that said There's a lot of machine there. If the PCI-e slot is empty, give it a shot. I think you'll be pleased.

yes it works the machine that I put the card in is running windows 8.1 just get the updated drivers from ATI should work fine

The video card I received was complete with everything. However, be aware this card is not compatible with Windows 8.1 secure boot if you have a Dell. This causes the CMOS BIOS to be inaccessible. Don't know about other PC's. If you disable secure boot, then the card and PC work fine.

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.

I THINK the answer is Yes. I had a x1 slot, so it wasn't an issue, but the following seems to confirm my opinion:http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/327359-30-will-card-slotHope that helps - at least a bit.
