My dell's motherboard doesn't have an agp slot so applied the following mod to my new 7800 so I could use it in PCI slot. When I boot it's not being detected...am I supposed to get a special driver?

Oh no!

Mate, what have you done? You have destryed a perfectly good card. First off, I think you are joking

I have not heard of a 7800 nor have I heard of a 7800 AGP. Nice try

Now, I'd like to state that you cannot mod an AGP card to fit a PCI or PCI-E slot. Different architecture, voltage, signalling and timing sequences. So, this is not possible to do and no driver will facilitate such a mod.

It's called a GT or GTX or something. I don't know what kind of plug that is, I'm guessing it's AGP, but my motherboard lacks a port for it to plug into, so I have nothing to go by. Any other suggestions before I RMA this?

Mate,

I still think you are joking . However if you destroyed a GTX (or anything else for that matter), you cannot RMA it! Never heard of a 7800GTX/GT AGP either

All current 7800GTs and 7800GTXs are set in PCI-E 16x connections. There is no current AGP verison of the 7800s, but expected to be one by the end of this year.

Your 7800GT or GTX is more then guaranteed to be a PCI-E one, unless you snuck one out of nVIDIA, thats if it's already made. Shows some more pictures and we'll believe you =D

Are you the same person who posted in this thread?

I've seen this 'joke' on a few of the forums i frequent, apparently its believed the picture is altered using Photoshop CS2.

Looks like that experiment to fit it in a PCI-E (1x or whatever) smaller lane / shorter slot.

Good try anyhow!

okay wtf dude, that was a horrible joke.

btw, 3dflyer:

Not a single card has maxed out the AGP max bandwith... I don't see how much better the PCI-E slot is than the AGP slot, maybe the 7800 is JUST a bit too powerful for the AGP slot, but still...
