Hello,

Apologies this is not an intel board, it is a legacy VIA board.
Does anyone know what graphics card I can use with this board.
I have purchaed a few from eBay and none displayed 1080 resolution. Noteably MSI NX8600GTS which is on the compatibility list for this board.

I am running windows 10

Thanks

That board only supports PCIe 4x and the 8600GTS supports 16x and may not be able to run above 1024x768 (or similar) unless in a board that has 16x PCIe, that is my guess as to the problem.

On second thought I bet it is a driver issue, the latest drivers for that vid card that I could find are for Win 7. Windows 10 is probably using the default WDM driver due to the the hardware being not fully supported under Win 10.
