Title: How to bring to work PCI->PCI-E adapter on Win7
Post by: murasha on August 06, 2011, 03:42:36 PM
So I bought those adapters on ebay.
There is 6 GPU in pci-e slots of my mobo and I want to connect one more using this adapter.
But in can only recognoze AMD HD audio device of 6950 card - no videoadapter.
Mobo: 890FXA-GD70
Also I am using x1 riser, but I tried without it before - no effect.
Also I can see a warning about PCI-PCI bridge in device manager, but windows cant find a better driver for it.
Any suggestions?

hmm look at the adapter's chip, and google the model number to search for drivers. win7 is much better than previous versions of windows in regards to finding its own drivers, but it can't find everything.

Last time I used a PCI to PCIE adapter there is no driver specifically for it.  It goes straight through to the graphics card (I was using HD48xx at the time).  You might want to test it separately.
