    Graphics card for WIN 7


    I'm on my second NVIDA GeForce GTX 970 graphics card in 3 years and it's starting to act strange like the first one did before crapping out.

    Do the newer graphics cards work OK with WIN 7 Pro 64bit? I'm assuming they should be backwards compatible, right?

    I'd like to try something other than NVIDA this time around so if anybody has any suggestions on a card that is comparable to the NVIDA GeForce GTX 970 please let me know

    I'm leaning towards the MSI Gaming Radeon RX 570 but I'm open to other suggestions

    I think for your own piece of mind and to be completely confident that they will work you will need to research what OS they are compatible with on the Internet.

    I hope this helps!

    Who makes the GTX 970 that you own? I just wouldn't buy that brand any more.


    There is no reason that the GTX 970 should not be compatible with Win 7 x64. Many forum users are using them as well as the 1070 with no issues. I think you just got a bad card.
