I'm trying to upgrade from integrated graphics on my ALiveNF6G-DVI mobo on XP (32 bit).
I installed a Sapphire HD 4670 ULTIMATE Edition in the PCIE slot yesterday, and reset the primary graphics adapter from onboard to PCI-E in Bios (sorry, don't have my Bios version handy just now).
Despite installing/reinstalling the ATI drivers multiple times diagnostics are showing this card as a generic card and I have no hardware acceleration or OpenGL functionality. Running dxdiag shows none of the advanced shading/texturing functions are running so despite having a modern card slotted onto the mobo with up to date drivers my system is not picking it up. The card does specify a 400W PSU is needed and I am running a Seasonic 380 W but I think that's close enough.
Pretty sure I need to update something on the mobo or change a setting in the BIOS. Any thoughts? Do I just need the latest BIOS? The drivers for XP available on the ASRock site all seem to be the latest (e.g. nVidia drivers etc).
Thanks....stuck here.
