Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-US2H graphics

This motherboard uses a Radeon 3200 integrated graphics controller. I have installed the current drivers from ATI but the Windows Experence value for the graphics card is only 1. Something appears to be wrong or missing and I am at a loss.

You can't expect too much from the onboard graphics. Your memory and CPU might also play a part in that score.

I might add that I have a Phenom II X4 940 (CPU rating 5.9), 4G 1066 memory (rating 5.9), and a 300G Sata 3G H/D (rating 5.6).

Also twice when doing the Update my score, I got the BSoD.

The same page is showing New Hardware Detected and a button to Refresh Now. I have run the Refresh several time with no change to the score and the New Hardware Detected message doesn't go away.

I would expect something in the 3 range for an onboard integrated graphics card.

Ah well, I think MS works off a list rather than any actual tests. Maybe it's just not on the list.
Is performance fine otherwise?

Have you updated all the drivers, including the chipset?

Have you tried cranking up the "UMA Frame Buffer Size" under the "Advanced BIOS Features" to 512? You could also try the latest (last month's) F3 BIOS...

Hi! I installed this motherboard last night and had the same problem. Then, I updated the motherboard with the latest (F4) BIOS version from the gigabite website and also downloaded the latest video drivers from the AMD (ATI) website and now it shown as 4.3 for graphics performance and 4.0 as 3d graphics.
