775 DUAL VSTA and ATI HD3850 ???
Hi all,
Long time no see.
I have been running my 775 Dual VSTA for quite sometime with an ATI 850XT AGP card, and got the itch lately to upgrade.
I noticed the ATI 3850 has an AGP version and thought, what the heck, DX10, good performance, why not?
Question is, will it play nice with my ASROCK 775 motherboard?
I know the asrock is persnickery with some PCIE cards, so there you go.
Is anyone running this combo successfully?!
Thanks in advance!
Oh, and thanks to ASROCK for over a year of solid great performance!

I'm sorry to bump my post....anybody have any experience with the above?
How about running a higher end PCIE card like the 3850 or the newer 4850/70 on this.
My thought is that I might just get a PCIe card and try it in this 775DUALVSTA then replace the MB if it doesn't work. The 4850s are SO cheap compared to the boards of yore....

I can confirm that Gigabyte Radeon HD 4850 works with 4coredual-sata2. BIOS option PCI Downstream Pipeline must be disabled, otherwise there will be massive corruption graphics in games. But I am happy with this combination.

Heh, you must be from Hardforum?
I just installed a 4850 in my 775DualVsta and it works GREAT.
I am so psyched.
I also turned PCIE Downstream Pipeline off, but didn't test it with it on.
At any rate I am getting 3dmark06 benchies of 8832 on this with NO tweaking. Not too shabby! |

It has an update of BIOS (version 3.10), which has a patch for the HD3850/3870 PCIE cards.
I believe that upgrading the BIOS of the motherboard correct any possible inconsistency.

Yeah, I see now. Interesting, the HD4850 worked on my MB without this last bios update. Any idea what this "fixes"?

Which version of the BIOS are you using?
You can see into the setup of the BIOS...
