I would imagine it should. Theres a chance the Vista drivers will work with it. If not then drivers should be released pretty soonish I would image, seeing as its a fairly new board :)

If you look here http://forum.giga-byte.co.uk/index.php/topic,725.0.html someone with a different board had the same problem and a combination of drivers worked for them  :)

Alot of the newer boards don't need drivers, Im not sure about AMD socketed boards but X58 boards don't have drivers but sound and ethernet which isnt needed with windows7 anyway.
If I had a hammer.. I'd hammer in morning.

I can confirm this board does not require any drivers to be loaded with Windows 7 as I am running that combination. Whilst I had to load drivers under XP (I'm triple booting the two versions of Windows plus SuSE Linux 11.1 at the moment) so that it would recognise the processor and chipset correctly, Windows 7 picked everything up automatically without needing any additional drivers loaded. I can only assume Microsoft have included support for all the chipsets and processors available to them during development, including the AMD 790 chipset and DDR3 Phenom II processors.
