Darren1405241470 0 Report post Posted February 7, 2006 I just bought a gigabyte K8N pro SLI mother board for a friend at a computer swap meet. At the meet (rather than take the 2 seconds to look myself ) i asked the man i was buying it from whether the board took PCIE or AGP graphix cards, he told me they took AGP, of course i then went and bought an AGP card (Winfast A6600GT 128m). Is there no way that i can use my AGP card (short of buying a new motherboard)?Thanks in advance for any help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SLI boards are all PCIe.Unless, you're willing to swap your graphics card for a PCIe. AGP cards costs more than PCIe cards.xboxrulz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iGuest 3 Report post Posted July 1, 2009 mainsboard and graphix card compatability.Motherboard/Graphix Card Compatability HelpI have decided to go with K9N2 diamond. ADM Phenom 2 quad 4 processor. It has been a long time since I last built a pc around 15 years. I am considering sli application with two dedicated cards disabling the on board graphics. Other than ensuring I am using PCIE graphix cards, is their any other considerations I need to be aware of before selecting a compatible card. Two main points that come to mind after discussions with others are: 1) does the graphics card need to be of the same chip set as that on my main board ? (note I do not intend to use hybrid sli I plan to buy two new graphics cards and considering nvidia 200 series) 2) Should I put my money into one card aim to buy a second in the distant future or buy 2 cards from the out set. any other advice would be welcome, thanks; Cory. -question by cory Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iGuest 3 Report post Posted February 3, 2010 graphics card compatibillityMotherboard/Graphix Card Compatability HelpI have a new win 7 64 bit, has an on board video ATI Radeon 5200. I am not a gamer, but I miss my dual monitor capacity. Have been told there is not a graphics card I can use in a PCI slot or the express slot that will still let me have one monitor on the on-board video card. Am being told if I use the express slot it will disable my on board...I guess I could just get an express dual card, but I would like to just install a 2nd pci card...Any ideas? I guess I just need to know if a pci card that is not pci express will disble the on board video...-reply by AndieKeywords: win 7 64 bit compatible graphic cards with on board video Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
