6800 Bus Weirdness

[DJ LUCiTE]

Hey guys, what's up?
I've got this problem that's kinda irking me a bit...
Click for Pic

As you can see, it reads my BFG GeForce 6800 GT OC as a "PCI x0" card, or something. Also, in RivaTuner, all the AGP options are disabled, even though I installed the thingy (Can't remember what it's called.)

Oh, and my card's most definitely plugged into the AGP slot.

System Specs:
-Gigabyte GA-7NF-RZ Motherboard (nForce2 chipset)
-AthXP 1800+
-512 MBs DDR RAM (DDR333)
-BFG GeForce 6800 GT OC (over-overclocked to 415/1100)
-SBLive! X-Gamer 5.1

Hope that helps you help me. Thanks in advance!

im pretty sure it has something to do with the pci-x to agp bridge

Update you nforce chipset drivers.

This is just because the new drivers refer to AGP as PCI-E x0. They are rating there drivers with the PCI-E standards and as your card isn't PCI-E it just says X0.

klah: They are at 5.10.
Gamingphreek: Does this mean I have no control over AGP features such as FastWrites and Sideband addressing?
zerocool84: The GA-7NF-RZ doesn't support PCI-E (or PCI-X or whatever).

I would....

1. Reload
2. Realize my CPU is holding me back
3. .....
4. Profit

 

[DJ LUCiTE]

I would...
1. Realize I have no money to buy a new CPU and RAM to match.
😛

Oh, BTW, it's funny...in RivaTuner, if I look at the "Graphics subsystem diagnostic report", the northbridge reports that the AGP bus status is "disabled"...when the card is plugged into the AGP slot. Weird.

EDIT: OHHH MYY GOD i'm retarded, lol...I just got bored and re-installed the nForce 5.10 drivers, and this time SELECTED the GART option...and w00t, it works now. Wow. I feel really stupid.
