Well, others seem to disagree, but with my experience, I guess I have to agree. So one more reason to never buy AMD ever again.

well others aren't amd.

it says right there in the red circle NO!

if you look up any newer os it shows a whole list of models that are compatible with a newer os.

master's right I few Google search and you'll find that the R9 series doesn't support Windows XP.

First, this box and many other in my house do nothing but F@H,

So you are telling me that Nvidia works fine, but to use AMD I have to spend another $150 to upgrade the OS.

Please try an argument that holds water, and please try to help. not badger me.

That's badgering you? Also if you're using F@H I was always under the impression that Nvidia was the way to go, almost common knowledge at this point? I would imagine you can easily return the card and get Nvidia hardware.

Well, I am done here. you guys are worthless for support. Yes, its an AMD card, but the documentation says it works for XP 32 bit.

Thanks for nothing.

Don't understand the hostility. Have you considered Linux?

Poster isnt badgering you, AMD is!..Driver info states supported O/Ss, XP is not one of them.

And I'll give you anything you desire if you find actual documentation, release notes of these 2 drivers.

According to this logic, upper driver does not support a single GPU.

And yet you can arrive at that page by choosing r9 2xx and windows XP 32bit,
not to mention that R9 200 is in actual driver inf file

i don't care what the inf says or how you get there.

amd says supported devices are the 260x and 7790.

Yes, but this was a great deal, and I was told it would do almost the same PPD as my 780 but for half the price ! But I guess I was wrong about the decision. And linux is a nightmare on F@H

 

[f1sherman]

im talking about 9.00.100

im talking about 9.00.100.

same pic(yours)

going by what AMD says isn't worth much is what i'm saying
because they don't say much(no release notes), or they say it wrong (bungled OS/GPU web installation procedure)

Is there any disadvantages for using F@H in Windows 7?

all amd drivers pages are like that...

there are release notes you have to google them.

the op try these ones.

http://support.amd.com/en-us/downlo...tail?os=Windows XP Professional/Home&rev=13.9

 

[Silverforce11]

If they don't support XP, they should be more upfront about it, certainly on the hardware box itself there should be a warning for potential XP users.

Are you serious? Are you a moderator or what?

I linked you an article saying that AMD doesn't support XP anymore! Also I looked everywhere around the net and nothing points that a R9 290x can be use with XP. Are you not able to accomplish those researches by yourself. Also Microsoft stopped the support for Windows XP in April.

Why are you throwing your frustration at us who are trying to help?

my powers are not that great
can you do it for me? 13.9 or 14.4 Windows XP 32 bit

They don't support Windows XP

Actually 13.9 don't even have R9 290(x) on the product compatibility list.

 

[AnandThenMan]

14.4 shows up when you go through the manual process of selecting drivers for the R9 2xx cards under XP. I've never tried it of course. Linux is not that hard to set up for F&H I did it a while back and I'm no Linux expert. It's not dead simple like Windows, but once you have it set up it's bullet proof extremely stable.

correction to above R7 260X is supported nothing higher, that makes sense.

12.8 was the last of xp support from amd.

So no 290x support for that driver that I see ?

That's what I've been telling you from the begginning but "thanks for nothing" heh?

 

[master_shake_]

nope

13.9 or 13.10 is the official driver for that card.

 

[AnandThenMan]

No. This will be the same with basically any card using a newer GPU XP support is understandably dropped.
