Thread : 8600gts and Asrock 775 Dual VSTA

I'm experiencing strange problems with my new 8600gts videocard, and I suspect it comes from my mobo's PCI-E 4x port.

I have similar news. My mobo is the 4core dual vsta with C2D 4400 with 2 gigs corsair 5400 ram. Until yesterday It had an Ati x800xt pe 256mb agp flavour. I put in an evga 8600 gts superclock pcie . It worked well initially except that everything has to be reset upon restart. (Putting in the latest drivers from nvidia wrecked up all the setup utilities.) I played Tomb Raider Legend and parts of my desktop flickered on randomly in the game screen.In the hierarchy of video cards the 8600gts should outperform the older ati card. (I am doing benchmarks to compare.) I have put on an Arctic cooler 4 rev 2 cooler on the older card and slapped back in. I went to the Asrock site and they list the msi flavour of the 8600gts as supported as well as the 8800gts for my mobo with driver 158.19. The only thing I can think of is the drivers are buggy or my version of xp pro with vista appearence mod may be a culprit since components of sidebar flicker thru. |

Well, I didn't experience this flickering desktop issue... if you think your Vista appearance mod is responsible, try to uninstall it.

I don't think we bought our cards from the same retailer, since the "Artifact pbms" thread's OP is in Holland, I'm in France, and well... I don't know where Belles_Toaster is...

Hello again I am following up on my first post. I bought the mobo 4Core Dual Vsta because computer upgrades can be a bottomless pit for money. I am after the best bang for the buck school. My old mobo was an asus dlx barton board overclocked to 3200xp with 1 gig of corsair value ram ddr400. The Ati x800xt pe gave 3dmark 03 score of 11,120 at 1024 x768 at default. The new mobo setup has the C2D 4400 running @ 2.83 ghz on air no change in thermal output yielding a score of 15344 in the same 3dmark 03 test. I guess there was a "bottleneck". Overclocking with the new cooler needs more testing but there is a difference of +6% .

Whatever the cause of the problem is, it has nothing to do with the PCI-Express port being limited to 4X. This would cause a bottleneck in performance, not artifacts.

I have this board and a x1650 pro, but I haven't gotten around to assembling that system yet, has anyone had a problem with this combination? |

I just have to say that I've been using my ASRock 775 Dual VSTA for almost a year now with no problems running an XFX GeForce 6600 8X AGP card. Last night I uninstalled the drivers by going through the Device Manager, turned the machine off, installed my new XFX GeForce 8600GT XXX overclocked PCIe card, turned it back on, cancelled out of the auto driver programs, and ran the installation disk that came tith the card. Works like a charm, watched a few brief vid clips, using a couple different movie players and played WOW for several hours with maxed-out settings and it worked perfectly.

Oh yeah - if anyone cares, the memory is running in dual channel mode and hyper-threading is enabled. Op system is XP Pro, never upgraded the bios and have no plans to OC (at least not with this board). |
