Albatron ATOP AGP8x to PCIexpress16x adaptor will be compatible with 3dfx Rampage AGP 4x Card ?

AFAIK, the compatibility is extremely limited-only a handful of geforce cards actually work.

If my ATI radeon 7000 and my Nvidia TNT2 are compatible with this adaptor I think Rampage too.
Can you answer all my questions on my previous reply please ?

as long as the card physically fits into the slot,it should work-or,in this case,not explode.

Thank you and for Rampage Drivers we will see if with others cards drivers work too.
But we need C++ programer like SFFT to build Windows 2000/XP drivers for Rampage.

@trevormacro: You mainly answered your questions by yourself.

From your Link:
Quote:
Motherboards supporting 8x AGP support both 1.5V AGP 2.0 compliant cards (AGP 4x) and newer .8V AGP 3.0 compliant cards (AGP 8x).


As ps47 alreday wrote, at least it will not kill the card.

@gwb: Yes, yesterday I printed the new SMD design on a PCB. Today I will etch it Smiley The first design will be tested with a CRT today and after that send to Gary.

Both cards with all settings not boot? Does the mainboard reply with a beep-code or do you just have no image?

Try to boot with an additional PCI card to see if Windows detects the cards.

The primary graphics card should also be set to PCI-E.

I try all settings with ATI Radeon 7000 VE Family and TNT2 AGP4x card.
I have just no image. No beep-code.
I have debug led on my motherboard and stop with this error 94 : PCI bus enumeration error.
VGA cable connected on adaptor.

as I said,the compatibility is very limited-if I remember correctly,only geforce4/5/6 cards work,and not all models.

So the board does not boot any further?! Please also test an AGP8x card to see if the adapter actualy is working.
I know this HIS bridge is designed by Nvidia for Nvidia cards, but this is a strange behavior. Seems like it's not designed very well Undecided

Info about my work on the dongle:
First design -> Works better with CRT displays. Will see if I can get my old CRT from my brother (did test it very short at work).
Second design (SMD) -> PCB is etched, will drill the holes for HD-SUB 15 today. A little rework needs to be done.
