GTX 580 supported on win10?

[Psittac]

A friend of mine suspects his dad's computer needs a video card, any video card so I pulled out my gtx580 and told him he can have it.  Will it work with windows 10? If not I'll be digging for something else.

There are likely some old drivers that support it for Windows 10 just fine- it won't be awesome, but it should work.

Thank you

 

what about a gt610? I dug that one out too and would probably be a better choice due to power consumption, it just needs to display

Yes. The latest driver for that card is from 2018, but it does work. I had a GTX 550 Ti running in a Windows 10 system a few months ago.

Yes, that will also work fine.

Again it should work just fine.

If it's just for display out, use the 610 over the 580 every single time. 29W vs 244W, so around 10% of the power consumption of the 580.

 

It'a a Kepler card so "game ready" drivers end in October. Security and bug fix updates will be offered until 2024, though I note that the most recent Win10 64bit drivers available were launched in March 2018.

That's under full load, so it's not a valid comparison when just being used as a display adapter. The 580 will still use more power, but not that much more.
