Not exactly, I'm simply using Zotac GT 610 PCI :) I was fooled by the bus interface listed in CPU-Z and GPU-Z. It makes sense, these newer PCI cards probably use the same PLX chip as PCI to PCI-E adapters. Anyway, I decided to install Windows 10 x64 v1511 on a spare HDD. Here it is, the infamous …

Underclocked Quad has just two Core 2 Duo CPUs glued together, it has almost no benefit in games that can run comfortably on Radeon 3850, unless you you multitask heavily. Yes, in games may be however in applications consuming too much CPU and Memory like Google Chrome, Quads are much better than …

Graphics artifacts (like seen in your screenshot s) generally points to an issue with the card. Often BGA cracks. To help for troubleshooting, i would avoid to change multiple factors at once. And work by elimination. I suggest the following process : VGA. Windows XP. Fresh install. Motherboard …

7 never included 3D enabled drivers for video cards (unless it grabbed them from Windows Update right after install) as far as I'm aware. That being said his issue is exactly the same problem one of my two 7800GS cards has, it crashes as soon as you try to access any of the cards 3D capabilities. …

I'm sorry but my guess is that your card is probably defective. When booting or when in the bios, (without the driver loaded), the card works but it fails as soon as the driver is loaded. Windows 7 is probably recent enough to include a GeForce 7 driver by default, so it is loaded automatically and …

Hello, I bought 7800 GS AGP on my local store. It's probably disassembled from Sega Lindbergh motherboard or like that. However, when I installed it on my 775DUAL-VSTA, it always crashed with blue screen on Windows 7 64-Bit. What should I do, I couldn't manage to find its best stable Win7 64-Bit …

I've mentioned an overclocking forum before, where it was concluded that 775Dual VSTA and Core4Dual are identical boards, excluding PLL chips. You can swap or flash BIOS from Core4Dual. That said, you are pushing your luck on these old 4-phase VRM boards with quad-core (especially Extreme versions …
