Does this card work with Windows 8?

According to BMD... Blackmagic Design Capture cards are compatible with the following Windows based operating systems: *Windows 7 64 bit *Windows 8 64 bit - Nothing about Win 8.1! With that said... If you're a glutton for punishment, be careful and think twice bout Buying a BMD Capture card or Capture Device. After 20 BSODs, we were able to get the card working 3 times. A Reboot was required after every Capture. BMD uses a common Driver model. Meaning BMD uses the same Driver for all of their Capture Devices whether PCIe or USB 3.0. Buggy Driver. Check & Verify the BMD Compatibility List 1st! It's a short list of gear you're never gonna use. We were working with a Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD5 Motherboard - Not on the List! BMD PCIe & USB 3.0 Gear needs more thorough compatibility Testing. If you proceed, D/L, install & run WhoCrashed and see where you're BSODs are coming from. Hope this helps! Update... Just checked BMD has an Update... Desktop Video 10.3.2. We were using Desktop Video 10.3.1 Dated 20 Nov 2014. Give it a shot and see what happens. A Capture Card need only have a DirectShow compatible Driver to work with other Tools like vMix. Good luck and let us know if you have better Success!

Dunno for sure, I use windows 7 still. But I don't see why it wouldn't work, it uses a default windows driver to run the card.

It works with Windows 8 flawlessly. There is custom software/drivers that provide firmware updates that may not be compatible with windows 8 however.

I got it to work on Windows 7 with the drivers that come on the disk, so it should work with win 8. Drivers are a problem with this product, as the latest ones coming from the chip manufacturer don't work with it.

Nope. I haven't gotten it to work on windows 8. I probably downloaded over 5 drivers still didn't work. Only windows 7 I saw it work on.

It should. I just installed the card in a fresh install of Windows 8.1 and it works. Windows did not initially recognize the card. But Widows Update was able to successfully download the correct driver for it. Sounds better than the on-board sound card.

It's possible; I have not tested the card on any Windows systems, unfortunately. It is a "legacy" card. But, there may be support for it under Win7 64-bit. Look at the Microsoft Windows 7 Hardware Compatibility List on Microsoft's Website. I hope that helps. Another option is to look at online forums for user-developed drivers.

Mine works perfectly with Windows 8. I have had no problems on any version of Windows.

I cannot say for certain if it works with Windows 8, but I did not need to install any drivers for Windows 7, so I would assume so. Just need to watch the USB 3.0 Issue.

I have it working on Windows 7. It works great, but I have never tried it on Windows 8

Yes Kathline it is compatible with Windows 8 and I only gave it the two star because many of the cards are the same as the 2009 version I had already on XP (I still use the XP computer).

Yes it is, I am running Windows 8 right now. However, if you are looking for a card at about this price range I would go with the newer cards from amd, like the R9 270. Those are a bit more expensive but they are alot better in terms of performance. Another option you should consider is the Geforce GTX 750. Other then that this card is great!

Yes, it does work with Windows 8. I did not have any problems. However, I was very disappointed with its ability to read business cards accurately. I spent considerable time correcting the inaccuracies. I ended up purchasing a ScanSnap S1300i. It is much more accurate - not perfect but more accurate than the World Card Pro. Plus the S1300i is more versatile in terms of having the ability to scan both side of business cards and scanning paperwork. Hope this helps.
