7800GS
7800GS
okay, i just recieved my eVGA 7800GS 256MB GDDR3 card, remember my BFG 7800GS for sale? Grendel told me that the 7800GS is a low quality GPU....... guess i should have listened
this evga version does the exact same thing as my BFG Card did.
put the card in, powered up.........
POST Screen comes up.........
Windows XP Starts to load.......
BAM!!
Black Screen followed by \"No Signal\"
now im wondering if my motherboard will even support a video card this fast? any ideas?
i guess my real question is? should i put the effort into trying a 7900GS or even the new 7950GS video cards?
remember now, i have a AGP slot, not PCI-E, and yes, there is a 7900GS AGP and now even a 7950GS AGP card.

no one would buy such a machine - well, not without you losing a chunk of money.AceCombat wrote:right now i have a 6800XT, i know im going to get the P4EE Chip. ( im trying to build the fastest AGP Based machine available, then ill probably sell it. )
computer tech is a money hole.

very funny
i tried something new, i tested the card on its VGA Port on a CRT Monitor instead of my LCD, it does the same thing...... so now im down to mobo doesnt support the card, so im asking around on the Asus forums if anyone knows of any compatibility issues with 7800GS Cards and the P4P800-VM board.

Have you ever used Rivatuner at any point, or any software that uses a driver wrapper? The same scenario happened to me when I went from my 6800GT to 7600GS forgetting to uninstall the nvstrap driver that comes with Rivatuner. After I put the old card back in and uninstalled nvstrap everything worked fine (after putting the 7600gs back in).
