I am surprised someone resurrects one of my threads. I like the motherboard and I am still using the system with FX-60 cpu. I have both win98se and winXP installed. I don't remember which VIA chipset driver I installed there though. I remember that I didn't get 3D working in win98 with some of the …

I was just testing because I was told this platform was inherently instable with 4 cores It doesn't mean that 100% of all cases will result in instability. But it's not "pretty stable all-round mobo" with Quad core CPU in general, especially if it's something top-tier. Heavy voltage drop and 4- …

Yeah... that's basicly what I had. To be honest, I never dig deeper on why/how to resolved this. In my case, it simply worked with different card. Maybe it's IRQ allocation on BIOS side that is the issue, but from what I tried - card simply refused to show up... until it did show up and then worked …

If you tried to install XP/Vista drivers, they may re-arrange some memory allocation and make board devices work/don't work easier (it's really not like this, but I shortned it to make it easier to read). Regardless, I assume you can see your card in device manager though, since you do have an …

My GTX 780 Ti worked fine (no issues during installation), I don't own GTX 1080 Ti. Using latest NV drivers may be problematic, if Win7 isn't updated (as newer GFE requires newer .NET that is available on Win7). Have you tried manual istallation (picking card to install from .inf file) ? Ah, thanks …

You used a 512 KB or 1 MB graphics card and it showed 3.6 GB still? If so, then that's as good as it gets. Even an Opteron 185 or Athlon FX-60 only show 3.3 GB so you mean something to do with the video card ? the same memory will be secured for video card ? if so, do you know how to disable this …
