Re: A8V Graphics Card



The fastest card that I ran on my A8V Deluxe used an nVidia 6800GT chipset. That was the latest AGP card I bought.

What was your old card? Are you running the latest Via chipset drivers? I doubt that it's possible to have an AGP graphics card that is too fast for the A8V.

Good luck.

I have a little more info:

1. I downloaded the latest ATI CCC, version 8.x, which is XP certified. I tried the card again but got the same results, artifacts on the screen, text smearing.

2. I also checked the power, my power supply is 500W. With my old card, my computer pulls about 140 watts, with the 2600XT, my computer pulled about 160 watts.

I guess my main question is, of those that have an A8V, what is the fastest video card that runs reliably on it?
