    Hey guys

    Just installed my Nvidia 7950GX2 and ran 3dMark 06 and under the bit where it says

    AGP Rates (Current/Available)

    it says

    8x / N/A

    when I used to run it with my old 6800ultra it said

    16x / N/A

    My Mobo is Gigabyte GA-8N-SLI Quad Royal Nvidia Nforce 4 SLI X16

    I am pretty sure the BIOS is right - well it seemed to run at 16x with my 6800Ultra anyway

    Any ideas anyone ?

    may need a BIOS upgrade to run a dual gpu card. or maybe each gpu is running at 8x; 2x8=16x? just a thought

    Thanks - No BIOS update needed Gigabytes latest vesrion (F5) was made especially for the 7950GX2

    I reckon it is the 16/2 = X8

    CHeers for the response
