Graphics card is not recognized Generic VGA - New Asus Direct CUII 7970 WHY????

[leebaldock]

Hi,

Relatively new PC - upgrade from an Asus Direct CUII 6970 (which was displaying fine in 3DMark11) to the Asus Direct CUII 7970. 3DMark and the yougamers game check say it's a Generic VGA which of course it isn't.

I've removed and reinstalled 3DMark11. Also installed 3DMark Vantage. Also updated to system info 4.9 http://futuremark.yougamers.com/foru...o-4-9-released

Also updated AMD drivers

Graphics card is not recognized

Any help appreciated. It's annoying.

I've just been ignoring the fact that it reports my 7770 as generic vga. But since you started a thread, I want to say I am having a similar problem.

Link to a result from 7770 that isn't properly identified?

to OP: We'll get those fixed on Monday. The problem is that some 7xxx series cards are "custom" to the specific vendor and those all must be added one by one to the db.

Awesome thankyou! :)

Will I need to do anything to have get those database changes or will it be done automagically?

Just links to the results that show the problem - and you had those in the first post so that's enough to get it sorted.

These should all be now fixed (all 7xxx series cards that were not properly mapped but had results in the DB should now be correcteD)

It does not seem to be. Have a look: http://3dmark.com/3dm11/3552501

Everything resident on my system (Afterburner, GPU-Z, HWiNFO64 correctly identifies my 7970M CF setup. Only the 3DMark benchmark programs do not.

Is there a fix for this?
