The ATI Radeon 7000 is officially unsupported on Windows 7 (both 32- & 64- bit). Even legacy ATI drivers don't support this. Is there any way to make it work?
- Description: ATI Catalyst 9.7 for Windows Vista, Windows 7 32-bit Display Driver ATI WDM Integrated Driver Catalyst Control Center (English Language Only) Download ATI Radeon 7000 Catalyst Software Suite v.9.7.
- To make long story short, I need to buy this old ATI Radeon 7000 but I want to make sure that this card is supported by windows 7. I search for official driver from AMD but seems they no longer support it but I found the driver for windows 7 on the net.
- RADEON 7000 Series Free MSI Windows NT/2000/XP/2003/XP 32-bit/2003 32-bit/2003 AMD 64-bit/XP AMD 64-bit Version 6. Full Specs Download Now Secure Download.
- Radeon ReLive updates are compatible with: AMD Radeon™ Graphics Core Next-based Products. Supports: Windows® 7/10; Radeon Chill updates are compatible with Radeon™ consumer graphics products in supported DirectX®9, DirectX®11, DirectX®12 and Vulkan games for Windows®7/10.
EDIT:This is my second video card. My primary is an ATI Radeon HD XXXX on PCIe. Since I have only one PCIe and I want more LCDs connected, I need to add a PCI card.
Install AMD Radeon HD 7000 series driver for Windows 10 x64, or download DriverPack Solution software for automatic driver installation and update.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it seems from looking over the subject that you won't find any Vista/Windows 7 drivers for the ATI Radeon 7000 that support Aero (and other niceties). The card was introduced in 2001 so I think you'll be lucky to find any Windows 7 64-bit custom drivers out there.

This site claims to have 32-bit ATI Radeon 7000 drivers for Windows 7 (I have not tried them, though). This site has the 64-bit versions.
Microsoft Compatibility Center suggests that this will work.
There are sites that suggest that the drivers must support DirectX 9 in order for Windows 7 to run. Unfortunately, ATI Radeon 7000 is only DirectX 7.

you can use windows xp drivers for this card in windows vista/7/8.. but you won't have the aero.
to install windows xp drivers, you have to run the driver install program in xp compatibility mode.
default vga drivers will also work with this card, but on the dual vga radeon 7000 series, you won't get both vga ports to work without the xp radeon 7000 series driver

Yes, there is. Dell provides it for Windows 2008 64bit, for example for PowerEdge 1425 SC series.
It should work on Windows 7 too.

Here you are.ATI ES1000 (RN50), Radeon 7000 (RV100) x64 driver:
This is my modification to some official Intel's driver. I modified it so it can support higher resolutions and hardware acceleration. DirectDraw and Direct3D are also enabled. Basically, I have copied registry settings from 6.11 catalyst and pasted them into this driver.
I recommend setting 16 bit desktop color mode, as this card is very old and has low onboard memory.

I just purchased a ATI Radeon 7000 PCI video card Installed it in my server board S5000VSA and running win 7 Pro. It found and installed the drivers properly and is running ok. I know it is an older card but it is better than the onboard output and is stable. I had to remove a Nvidia because the drivers caused it to crash all the time.
