could be the spec of your card m80!

 

[Footieboyz02]

hi thanks for the reply but the graphic card is brand new nvidia 8800gtx card. one of the best card around i dont think the spec will give 1.0

cheers

 

[MH]

yeah just looked at the spec, you be right!

Is it PCI Express??

If so make sure its setup in the bios correctly

 

[Footieboyz02]

yes it is pci express i think i will check the bios cheers for this

Do the windows updates and check that you have the newest Vista drivers installed.....

 

[MH]

he has already said he has got the latest driver

 

[toeknee00]

Ahhh....yeah did not see that...lol

But the windows update should sort it too....it did with mine....I had a crappy nvidia 6700 with latest drivers....score was 1.0...

did MS updates and it went to 3.....lol

 

[Footieboyz02]

Thanks all windows updates installed and still i have 1.0 on graphics and gaming graphic.
Also my processor to be at 5.7 dont really seem right. It cost £700 odd

Any1 have any ideas.

Thanks

8800gtx is an awsome graphics card, i've got one myself have you plugged both power connectors into it? if you dont it reverts into a basic mode

 

[Footieboyz02]

Hi buddy i have both power to it one being white the other being black. I have also an extra power on the abit board to support power to the graphic card which is in. Givening me a headach now i think i will flash the bios tomoz i have to attch a floppy first.

Cheers

 

[MH]

what board is it?

Some boards allow you to flash via windows

 

[Footieboyz02]

hi it is the abit in9 32max wi fi http://www.abit.com.tw/page/uk/moth...ME=IN9+32X-MAX+Wi-Fi&fMTYPE=LGA775&DEFTITLE=Y

cheers

 

[MH]

Mine is the Fatality, and you can flash that from windows

Have you installed all the abit utilities from the disk?

 

[Footieboyz02]

It does allow you to do it from windows but i have been advised to do it from floppy like the old ways. I will try it tomoz and report back. I do also get cmos error every boot so i am hoping this will slove it.

Cheers for help i will be in touch tomoz

If it plays the games you want then ignore it.

It's maybe a bug that makes Vista report it like that.

The Vista rating thing can do one for me...

spectre has a Good point Here. Try 3D marks and compair.

If your using Ntune with the card, Make sure its not clocked to factory setting. As this could half your GPU memory rate.

I'll guess that the card uses DirectX 10?

Make sure that and the proper drivers are in.

The ATI Radeon Mobility in my laptop gets 3.7 so I think there is a bug somewhere .
