7800 GS AGP Help

[kinooshi823]

To upgrade to the 7800 gs AGP, can it be any card? or does it need special bios? I did see a card with bios 5.70 but that is about it.

You can use any 7800 gs AGP if you use an multi

Plug and play?

I heard conflicts that outside of the AGP 7800 that has the Sega BIOS, no other AGP 7800 would run. If I find a cheap one in the future, I will buy it and try it out.

There is no "Sega" bios. They locked it to a specific bios version, it has to be 5.70, not 5.71. You can't downgrade it either because 5.71 versions of the card are a different GPU version.

So any 7800 agp that has the 5.70 works then right?

Sorry on late replay here. If you have 6 series card, most likely your game software is only going to allow that card to work. Such as with Lets Go Jungle and some HOD4, there are different versions of software that allow different cards. When I change out a 6 series for a 7800, if Lindy won't see new card, I reinstall from disc I have that supports both types cards. These two games are the picky ones. Other titles I have not seen too much difficulty with...as far as video cards go.

No hay una BIOS "Sega". La limitaron a una versión específica de BIOS: debe ser la 5.70, no la 5.71. Tampoco se puede degradar, ya que las versiones 5.71 de la tarjeta son una versión de GPU diferente.

¿Significa esto que no puedo extraer un chip versión 5.70 y reemplazarlo por uno que tenga 5.71, o reprogramar el BIOS, no funcionará?

Disculpen la demora en responder. Si tienes una tarjeta de la serie 6, lo más probable es que el software de tu juego solo la admita. Por ejemplo, con Let's Go Jungle y algunos HOD4, existen diferentes versiones de software que admiten distintas tarjetas. Cuando cambio una serie 6 por una 7800, si Lindy no ve la nueva tarjeta, la reinstalo desde el disco que tengo compatible con ambos tipos de tarjetas. Estos dos juegos son los más delicados. Con otros títulos no he tenido demasiadas dificultades... en cuanto a tarjetas de video.

Hola amigo, acabo de ver un Let's Go Jungle con una tarjeta de video con BIOS 5.71. ¿Significa eso que esta máquina es compatible con la BIOS 5.70 o 5.71?, or either of the two
