SMARTGART Not Detecting 8x AGP

Gut?JA! · Sep 22, 2004, 10:18 AM

Hello everyone,

Recently i had to reformat my HD, and after i re-installed windows, i get this problem. No matter what version of the Catalyst drivers i use, after the installation and the reboot Smartgart displays that my card's AGP is Off. I'm running a Sapphire Atlantis Radeon 9800 Pro 256MB, on an Abit IC-7 Max3 motherboard.
This isn't the first time this has happened. What i did to solve the problem the first time was, install Cat 3.7's, and after about a month i installed 4.8's and it detected everything fine. And about two weeks ago i reformatted, and installed directly Omega 2567 drivers. No problems there.

If anyone has any suggestions on how to solve this, i would really appreciate it.

*I have also tried using Omega's Advanced SmartGart options. Still same outcome.

Thanks.

try re-installing you're chipset drivers.

If you're using Windows 2000, you may have problems because it's been incompatible with AGP before. Well, at least when I tried it on my old GeForce 3...

If you're using Windows XP, then yeah, try reinstalling chipset drivers like MIG-31 said.

changing it in bios might help.. reseting your cmos might too

I just experienced the same problem several mins ago. The solution is very simple: reinstall the latest GART drivers.
