I have just bought a new motherboard from Newegg (of cource). It's the Gigabyte GA-MA78G-DS3H (Link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128335). I used to have an ASUS M2N-E mobo with the AMD 6000x2, and 8800gts and it worked great. Now that i have upgraded the mobo to and AMD chipset, the video card is not nearly working to full potential. In my previous set up, my Windows Vista rating was 5.4, Now with the new Gigabyte GA-MA78G-DS3H mobo in the system my Vista rating is at 1!? I have no idea what is going on...I mean an AMD chipset can work with an Nvidia video card right??? I know this MOBO had on board video, but i have disabeld that in the BIOS. I have changed and messed around with settings in BIOS for a bit, but nothing seems to work. I would appreciate any feedback. Thank You.

System specifications:

-AMD 6000x2

-4gb Gskill DDR2 800

-Gigabyte GA-MA78G-DS3H --link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128335

-Windows Vista home premium 32-bit

-WD 500gb HDD/SATA 3Gbs

-Creative X-Fi Platinum Fatality Champion

-Enermax Liberty Dxx 500watt PSU

Almost sounds like you didn't install the drivers for it.

Have you tried wiggling the card in its slot and made sure the cord is pluged into the back of it?

Oh yeah...i forgot to mention that i did install latest drivers...but still no luck with Windows Vista rating. The weird thing is that the card is recognized in 3D Mark Vantage and performs like it should. I even ran Counter Strike Source stress test and i got 202 fps. So i have no idea what the deal is here.

Yeah i have tried to wiggle it and even took it out and re-installed it.

working but still isnt recognized by vista

Odd really is, never seen that.  OK thry this,  goto C/windows/performance/WinSat/DataStore and delete all the files in it, and try to see if it will score after that. That file is your windows Vista score records.  (they make for an interesting read if you OC)
