Hi Everyone
I have recently purchases a V8170DDR graphics card. I also have purchased a Gigabyte GA_8IHXP motherboard.
The Gigabyte board is quite explicit in stating that usage of AGP2 (3.3v) will burn the motherboard. That AGP4 (1.5v) should be used. The 8170 suports AP4/2/1, however what is used. Part of the documentation states: Make sure that the power supply of your motherboard can provide enough electrical current on the 3.3v lead to maintain normal operation. That is indicating 3.3v
I'm afraid that if I use this card, it will burn my motherboard.
Can anyone clarify this for me?
Regards
Patrocl
