Next gen graphics cards windows 7 support

[Matthew Renna]

I'm just wondering if the new graphics cards in the future like amd navi will support windows 7?
What do you guys think?

If you're talking about the graphics cards after pascal and vega, then probably not, as windows 7 support will end in a few years, and windows 10 has dx12, and maybe even dx13 in the future.

yeah I was talking about the cards after pascal and vega, I hope they do support 7 though.

I really doubt it. Windows 7 is dying slowly and slowly, and soon enough people will be forced to upgrade.

IDK. Win7 like XP has/had a huge following. I could see a basic driver being released for it. But I doubt it will get monthly updates, etc. If drivers came from MS it would be gone already.

Current desktop usage says windows 10 is 20%, windows 7 is 49%.

I doubt that graphics card vendors will want to shut off half of their market.

Graphics drivers still support 32 bit operating systems for drivers even after Intel has shut that off for their integrated drivers.

Nobody knows, buy there is no need to do anything prematurely.
