VisionTek Radeon HD 2900 XT PCI-Express Video Card Windows 7?

I just bought a VisionTek Radeon HD 2900 XT PCI-Express Video Card for my computer but i am running windows 7 home edition 64 bit, will this work on my computer? My specs are below.



Processor: Pentium Dual Core CPU E5300 @ 2.60GHZ

RAM: 6GB

Current graphics: Intel G45/G43 Express chipset (built in)|||It works fine with Windows 7. You'll need to download the latest drivers from ATI- the included CD in won't have Windows 7 drivers.

However.... If you haven't opened the box yet I'd recommend returning it. The Radeon HD 2900XT is a discontinued model. It was good 3 years ago, but video cards have gotten better and prices have come way down since then.



If you only paid around $75 then it's a fair deal, that's what modern-day equivalent cards like the Radeon 4670 and 5570 cost. But the Radeon 2900XT was selling for $170-$200 just a couple of years ago. For that kind of money, MUCH more powerful cards are available.



These cards are equivalent to your 2900XT:

Finally, be sure to check your computer's power supply rating. High-performance video cards require more power, you need at least a 400W power supply to run most of today's entry-level gaming cards. Older cards tend to be less energy-efficient and run hotter than newer models. If your computer has a 450W or higher power supply, then you're in good shape. With 300W, your upgrade choices are limited.|||Microsoft says it is: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compati…



Just make sure you have 64 bit drivers for windows 7 for it, you can download them from VisionTek's website: http://support.visiontek.com/drivers/10.…
