    1950pro AGP DOA??

    I tried all that to no avail everything that has been stated to try has been tried and it willl not work simply because its .8v and my MB is only 1.5v compliant. I just installed a BFG 7800GS and it also works flawless started up no problem. the visiontek 1950 agp is a .8v only card so...

    1950pro AGP DOA??

    my MB says to only use 1.5V cards only even though its 3.o compliant. 1 x AGP slot (8x/4x-AGP 3.0 compliant), supports 1.5v display card only. http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Mot...&ProductID=1914&ProductName=GA-K8U-939

    1950pro AGP DOA??

    I think it has something to do with the voltage though it says its 3.0 it only can use cards that are 1.5v which is weird. that being said is there an easy to tell which cards do 1.5v? is it just cards that can do 4x agp? or is it alot harder?

    1950pro AGP DOA??

    yea they tested it with and without the psu I bought. I am stunned by this, no idea whatsoever why no video output, only thing I can think of now is that it was not seated all the way in, though I was 99 % sure it was in as far as it could go. I put in my 6800 that I am trying to replace...

    1950pro AGP DOA??

    this is what my MB says for the AGP slot... 1 x AGP slot (8x/4x-AGP 3.0 compliant), supports 1.5v display card only does that mean I cannot use an 8x only card? but isnt my 6800 oc 8x only? I cannot figure out why it wouldnt work in my system.

    1950pro AGP DOA??
