hi,
i just purchased a gigabyte GA-7VT600 1394 motherboard,
and am thinking of getting a 9600xt.
the agp voltage on the motherboard is 3v default,but can be changed to
1.5v.What voltage do 9600xt`s require?
im thinking of buying the hercules 9600xt,had a look on there
website,not a jot of info on voltages.


Thanks for your time.

Regards

desert.
 
no, no

AGP 4X is 1.5volts and 8X is 0.8V

So this motherboard is no good for agp 8x then?
as the agp voltage is 3v or 1.5v...
seems a bit strange that gigabyte would implement such,if agp 8x
requires 0.8v.
confused

From the manual:

"AGP 4X/8X(1.5V) notch"(show below), please make sure your AGP
card is AGP 4X/8X(1.5V).
Caution: AGP 2X(3.3V) card is not supported by VIA® KT600. You
might experience system unable to boot up normally. Please insert
an AGP 4X/8X(1.5V) card

Example 1: Diamond Vipper V770 golden finger is compatible with
2X/4X mode AGP slot. It can be switched between AGP 2X(3.3V) or 4X
(1.5V) mode by adjusting the jumper. The factory default for this card is
2X(3.3V).

The GA-7VT600(-L) (or any AGP 4X only) motherboards might not
function properly, if you install this card without switching the jumper to
4X(1.5V) mode in it.

Example 2: Some ATi Rage 128 Pro graphics cards made by "Power
Color", the graphics card manufacturer & some SiS 305 cards, their
golden finger is compatible with 2X(3.3V)/4X(1.5V) mode AGP slot, but
they support 2X(3.3V) only. The GA-7VT600(-L) (or any AGP 4X only)
motherboards might not function properly, If you install this card in it.

Note : Although Gigabyte's AG32S(G) graphics card is based on
ATi Rage 128 Pro chip, the design of AG32S(G) is compliance
with AGP 4X(1.5V) specification. Therefore, AG32S (G)will work
fine with VIA® KT600 based motherboards.
