Video Cards

[Guest]

Hi everyone. I have two harddrives installed in my PC. The primary hd has Windows XP on it. The second hd has Windows 7 installed. I would like to buy a video card that is compatible and functions on both operating systems. The video card--Nvidia FX 5200 --works find on Windows XP, but for some reason will not work correctly on Windows 7. I have updated the driver, etc. Hence, I need a new video card. Any help will be appreciated. deanie44

The FX5200 is not supported by Windows 7. You'll need a newer card. I think this one should work, because its on the Windows 7 nvidia GPU list and it has similar requirements to your old card.

I would get something slightly more up to date (DirectX 10) for a few dollars more:
