9600XT What Voltage?

[desert]

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.

My ATI AIW 9600 PRO is 4X (3.3) and 8X (1.5).
So I would assume your 9600XT is the same.

no, no

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

I stand corrected

no, no

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

 

[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.

i have read the manual etc. but what confuses me is:

no, no

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

i cant find any info on this mb supporting 0.8v.
