Confused on my AGP card by WaqasTariq on 06-06-2007 at 08:47 AM
Hello again...
Another question.
I bought an AGP card "GeForce 7900GS 512MB (256-BITS) DDRIII" of inno3d now when I goto inno3d website or nvidia website I only find a card with 256MB 256BIT under 7900GS, I am sure my card is "GeForce 7900GS 512MB (256-BITS) DDRIII" and its from inno3d
its not GTX of that im sure to 
also from where to get its latest drivers as inno3d has an old drver version for download and nvidia has a more current one available.
second question, nvidia, inno3d and xfx they all produce Gforce cards and they all have nvidia chip in them...
can anyone explain to me why 3 companies producing the same line of series?

Nvidia makes the chips, the other companies make the actual boards and put the chips on them.

Checked the links you posted, no it isnt the iChill series, I installed the AGP my self on the board, its the same as the normal 7900 series...

1) You should use the latest driver from Nvidia website.
2) You can see how much memory your card has. Click the "Start" button, "Run..", type "dxdiag" and click "Ok". On "Display" tab, you should find information about your card, including the amount of memory.
Hopefully that will clear up the confusion.

Its 512MB ... but its not IChill I am sure becoue I instaled the card my self, and its diffrent from iChill and same as 7900GS, as it says in the attachment
Which drivers should I get?
RE: Confused on my AGP card by Voldemort on 06-06-2007 at 06:38 PM
no driver/utility came with your card?

Yes a CD came, but I want to get the latest drivers...
Ok, tell me will it make any diffrence if I download drivers from nvidia or inno3d?

Why don't you try the ones on the cd? they *can have* and update function....

Finally found a way
nvidia website has an activex that automatically finds the drivers 
..Yippeee!

I hope you didn't waste all this time on trying to decide what driver you should download. Nvidia drivers are unified -- it is the same download for all current Nvidia chipset cards...

Just so you know, its a PCI-E card.
