It will work great on a Windows 7 system. However, make sure your computer has a PCIe 3.0 slot to install it in. It will not work with PCIe 2.0 - not enough power to run the graphics card.

I'm using it on a Windows 7 machine. Works great. Make sure you have the power supply connections available for it.

I bought this long before the release of Windows 8.1. (This was a gift for younger brother.) I don't want to assume that it's not compatible. Do you participate on any online forums that focus on these type of games? They would be better able to answer this question for you.

It should work with windows 8. I run windows 7 so im not 100% confident but from what I have heard no one has complained about it not working on 8.

Is it compatible with only windows eight desktop computer? I don't understand running windows 7 and 8 on the same computer.

It didn't work with Windows 7 and that was listed for what it would work with. I don't have Windows 8 so don't know. I would be surprised if it works at all.

I use Windows 7, so I am not absolutely certain, but I should imagine it is backward compatible. Check with Microsoft to be certain.

It works on my desktop running window 7, so I assume it would work on version 8. Try it it's cheap enough.

Its designed for vista and windows xp but i use it on windows 8.1 ok so i would think it will work on windows 7. There are of course no guarantees.

We have Windows 7, and it works fine on this. I am afraid I cannot answer for Windows 8, sorry, and good luck!

Per the packaging it came in, it is compatible with windows 8. I have Windows 7 and it took a few times to get it up and running. If you want to see the compatibility on the package, I can send a picture of it, as I saved it.

Hi, I've only used it on my Windows7 and XP box and it works great. I have not tried it on a Windows8 machine.

It works fine for me, using Windows 8, it's basically hardware only, I see no reason it wouldn't work with Windows 7.

It is poosible but I have not tried it with Windows 8. I do know it works on Windows 7. I would assume since it uses a independent software that it would in fact work with Windows 8 but since I have not officially tried it I can not tell you for sure. Hope this helps.p.s. check the manufature website. they might have newer specs than Amazon has up.

The copy I bought did not even work on Windows 7, but as I recall, when I got it, it turned out not to be the right version. So, it's possible that it will if you actually get a copy that was designed for Windows 7. If it just says in the add that it is compatible, but it is old, it probably won't work. If it's cheap enough, it might be worth taking to risk to see, but in my experience, it didn't work.

The box says its compatible to both windows 8/7. I have windows 8 so I can't answer the question about 7
