Intel 845GV chipset graphic update puzzle

[idata]

I have to update the Intel 845GV chipset graphic driver.

The motherboard manufacturer is Elite Group.

And I don't understand what is the difference between:

They both are ment to be used with Intel 845GV chipset.

Hi Sajit,

Actually the GMA = Graphics Media Accelerator was formerly known as "Extreme". The Intel® 865G/GV may work with the Intel GMA v14.19.50. Since this is an end of interactive support board, it will never validated.

The Intel® 82845G graphics controller, also referred to as the Intel® 82845G/GL/GE/PE/GV graphics controller, is the display adapter component of the Intel® 845G chipset family. The Intel 82845G graphics controller, combined with the Intel® Extreme Graphics Driver allows the output of high quality 2D/3D video and graphics to the monitor.

Unfortunately, i dont have much information on this board, as it is an old one.

Kind Regards,

Thank you Aryan2411.

But could you tell me which one would be the best driver to install?

Hi

May I suggest using the Intel(R) Driver Update Utility?

It will determine if you have the latest driver for your chipset and provide a link to the latest if needed.

Here is the link:

I have been looking all over for the specs for this card and cant find it. I want to replace a graphics card of the intel 82845g with something else and i am looking on newegg and cant figure out if the 845 is a AGP or PCI. anyone know?

Hi Matt

The Intel (R) 845G graphics controller is integrated onto the motherboard and cannot be replaced, it is part of the chipset. However, some 845G/GV motherboards have AGP slots built into the motherboard so that a discreet graphics adaptor can be used. If you do have a board with and AGP slot, and install a AGP graphics adaptor, it will disable the Intel 845G graphics of the motherboard.

Hope this helps.

I have a similiar issue mith my ASRock P4i65GV motherboard. It uses the Intel 845GV chipset and has an "AGI" slot which supposedly is an AGP slot. Now the problem is, that this AGI slot doesn't support most AGP cards. ASRock says, it's the chipset's fault because it wasn't designed to support external AGP. Does anyone know, if an update of the Intel graphic drivers will solve this problem, or which specifications have to be met by an AGP graphic card in order to work? ASRock Tech-Support doesn't know more than i do and they are not capable of updating the list of supported graphic cards (the list only contains devices that are not sold anymore anywhere in germany).
