Hi.I have a ATI Radeon HD 3600 AGP graphic card but when i install the drivers for it it shows that I have a standard vga adapter.I tried the method posted in this topic but it didn't work.I tried several other ways but either nothing happens or windows crashes and I have to reinstall it.Can someone help me?
Have you tried the official AGP drivers?
Catalyst AGP Hotfix - Radeon HD 4000 Radeon HD 3000 and Radeon HD 2000 Series AGP products
No I had not tried that.I'll try it tomorrow and I'll tell you the result.thanks in advance :)
The drivers installed but it shows that there have been installed drivers for a driffrent craphic card.Mine is HD 3600 when I open the device manger it shows that there have been installed drivers for VisionTek Radeon HD 2600 XT AGP...
Grab this,
GPU-Z Video card GPU Information Utility
and post a screen shot of what it shows please.
Here is a screenshot from Everest
Sorry my mistake in the above post(Where I tell that the card is 3600,not 3650)
That wouldn't happen to be an ASUS branded 3650 is it?
I bought an AGP ASUS 3650 a few years ago and had nothing but problems with it. Only drivers that worked were the ones on the CD. the drivers from ATI and from ASUS' website would not work. So I sent it back and just ordered parts to build a new HTPC with onboard Nvidia 9300 video.
Actually it's a Sapphire HD 3650 and I too have problems with the drivers(the drivers from the disc didn't work and i had to download some hotfix).Now I have problems again...
That screen cap from Everst doesn't help any, think you will find that any ATI card regardless of who it was made by will show as ATI and the model number (my HD 4830 shows the same). Need to click on GPU to see all the relevant info (manufacturer, DevID, etc).
They haven't done that for years, and even then the last few years that you could actually buy an "ATI" branded card it was made by Sapphire anyway (or possibly one of the other partners, but primarily Sapphire).Sometimes I wish ATI still made video cards.
