Video Cards - 1.5v or 3.3v

[Neffro]

How can I tell if my video card requires 1.5v or 3.3v? I see it listed nowhere on the box or the website. I have a eVGA.com e-GeForce4 MX 440 SE
Dual VGA
64 mb AGP

Thanks.

Well, chances are that it's a 1.5v card if it's compatible with Universal AGP. Look at the AGP specification. If it says 2.0, then it's compatible with both 3.3v and 1.5v AGP slots (the card adjusts itself). If it says AGP 1.0, then it will only work with 3.3v slots.

Hope that helps...

It requires the 5V, not the CPU voltages!
Just put it in the slot, there are no jumpers or cables to connect!

Some info on the subject:

Unless your mobo has the Intel i845 or i850 chipset, you shouldn't worry about it.

Forget the link to the card. That's the wrong one. The other info should be relevant.

The Geforce4 MX card came out well after the AGP 1.0 spec was outdated. Chances are that it uses AGP 2.0 and a Universal AGP connector.

Should have no problems using the card in any AGP slot 3.3v or 1.5v...

Hey i have GF 2 GTS running in AGP2.0, no problem. Dont worry bro, you'll be fine. Just stick it in there. Only first agp cards were voltage sensitive (like up to 1998)
