The windows vista thing is a marketing trick. You only need drivers for the gtx 650 that you can get from geforce.com or from the disc that usually comes with the graphics card.

Hi

Since the above is a LCD screen (17" 1280 x 720)
You can not run any operating system on it

What is the specification or model of base unit
A modern version of windows from last 5 or 10 years should be able to run the screen at native resolution subject to graphics card or chip having the correct driver loaded

It is written on the monitor that it works with windows vista. Are you sure pbm86 it will run. I have a gtx 650 would I need any drivers for it mbarnes86. And what do you mean "You can not run any operating system on it."

Hi

The answer has been given but you do not understand the basics

Windows runs on a PC processor
It can display on 99.99% of screens
But until the graphics card or integrated graphic chip driver is installed screen will run at very low resolution

Once graphics driver is loaded or installed the screen can be set to native or maximum resolution

Windows supports some graphics chips with built in drivers others come on driver disks or are downloaded from the internet web site of chipset maker or marketing company

Modern graphics cards , screens and drivers can exchange information so the specification of the screen can be determined by Windows .
