Daedalus Posted November 12, 2005 Posted November 12, 2005 Hi everyone, Does anyone know how you tell if the GART driver is installed. When i first tried installing the mobo drivers, they would not install as they were giving an INF error, something to do with the Video Driver. What i did was a custom install, and just installed the Southbridge/IXP drivers, then i installed the CAT 5.11's for my graphics card, but im only getting 8,204 in 3DMark 05, and 15,318 in 03, they seem low to me so been looking in the device manager to see if i have the GART installed, but i don't know what im looking for. Is the GART mixed in with the Southbridge/IXP drivers, as i did retry installing the GART again to make sure, but it does nothing after i click setup. Any ideas ppl. Thanks. Also how do you tell if your running in Dual Channel, as on my other motherboard said during startup Dual Channel enabled, this one says nothing, and i have my Ram in slots 2, and 4.

RGone Posted November 12, 2005 Posted November 12, 2005 Garts are not used with PCi-e cards. Only the AGP cards. RGone... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiffSteel Posted November 12, 2005 Posted November 12, 2005 One method comes to mind: go to your control panel and select add/remove programs. Within the list that gets populated you should see nVidia drivers. Highlight that then click on the remove button. An nVidia window should pop up giving you several selections of removal: all drivers, all drivers except display, etc. Toward the middle of the window is section where you can specify one or more individual drivers to uninstall. Does the GART driver show up? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElixXx Posted November 13, 2005 Posted November 13, 2005 this is an ATI chipset, and as mentioned no AGP = No GART Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daedalus Posted November 13, 2005 Posted November 13, 2005 Ahh so theres no GART driver for PCI-E, thats odd then, so anyone know why when you try installing the motherboard chipset drivers from the CD, the GART is included in the long filename, says 5.8_ccc_wdm_GART_ etc.... :confused: Thanks.

Ahh right thanks for that, so as long as off the CD i install the Southbrdige/IXP drivers, then install the CAT 5.11's off the ATi site, that should be it ? Thanks.

Thanks. Don't install any drivers off the cd, they are too old. All you have to do is run this one driver package(get package from the High Speed section) from ATi which will install the chipset, wdm and video drivers. Just make sure you unistall previous versions by running the Catalyst Removal tool in the Add or Remove programs control panel. https://support.ati.com/ics/support/default...ge&folderID=293 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
