I have an Asus P5WDG2-WS board with the lastest bios (6.02). If I change from
ATI X1900 to the 7950 GX2 (from Evga) the computer does not start anymore
(hang during the start up screen), even if I uninstall the Ati driver bevor I
change the card.
When I build in the card an try a complete new installation of Vista it
hangs as well, there is no chance to use Vista wtih this card. Does anybody
know how to solve it?
Im am using RC1 Build 5728
 
The way I got around this was, I had an old PCI card and installed Vista
RC1with that. After the installation was completed, I switch the card with
7950 GX2 and started in safe mode, replace the microsoft supplied driver with
Nvidia 96.33
 
The way to get around this is install RC1 with an PCI card after completion
of the installation switch the card with the 7950 GX2 and start in safe mode
, replace the Microsoft supplied driver with Nvidia 96.33.
This works
 
was you old one an ATI or Nvidia?

i installed the post RC1 build just fine on my XFX 7950GX2... then
installed the latest Nvidia drivers and all was fine... (with default Vista
drivers it was only using one card... after the lastest nvidia drivers were
loaded all was fine...

I think you did not really test to see if both cards were working. when you
look at the device manager you only see one. Then if you check your score it
will not be a score of 1 like it should be if both are working.
Or run a 2dmark 06 test to see your scores it will tell. you will notice a
huge drop in performance.
If by chance you were successful I would like to know how you did it. I
tried the same process you did by tria;l and reea mine appears to work but if
you look in the 3d settings you will not see the SLI option. (Case and
point.)
