Title: cant get 4650 to work on 1x adapter for the life of me [1btc bounty]
Post by: shakaru on August 03, 2011, 09:58:46 AM
So I have 4650 that I dont want to mine with, but just use for svideo out to a tv with no hdmi. My 16x slot is full with a 5830 mining away. I have my adapter, I even tried to short the detection pins and no luck. I was hoping someone could help me out.

Rest of the build is a Gigabyte M68mt-s2p, Phenom 840, 4gb ram.
Any help would be great.

Ill make a 1btc reward for who ever gets this thing on.

Does the BIOS detect the card?
Does the OS detect the card?
Is it present in the Catalyst Control Center?

Re-installed the catalyst drivers after you attached the 4650?
Dummy-plug attached?
TV-attached to the svideo after hard-boot(power-cycle)?
Have you tried switching the graphics-cards to rule out non-working 1x-riser?

Does it work if you unplug the 5830?  You probably have done this already, but if not, give it a try. If it works when 5830 is not powered, then this will suggest a possible motherboard setting that's disabling 1x port.  shorting the pins on it may work, as suggested above, if it doesn't it may be a limitation

Tried it nothing at all.

Also about disabling the 1x port. Port runs everything fine with network or sata cards. Just no gpu pn the adapters.
