Haven't really tested it.. I have no games installed!! :eek: :o
 
ooo u have to fold with it.

That card would actually look really good inside the old ABit AV8 Rocket-Boy, with all it`s red leds under the mobo :)

No test results and u`r posting !!!! :whack:

hehe enjoy the moment, savour the packaging, I know I know..
 
impressive man. I'm really glad to see the companies putting in braces on the back of the cards, or at least making some rigid coolers like the x19xx series.

Agreed lol.. im still looking to sell the damn thing.. haha. £80. im gonna get it on ebay in a month or so. when exams are over.

It is pretty ugly after a few months lol.
 
i've just bung in my one in too.......

no benching what so ever tho.......i just wanted to see if it still works after i've bought it so many days ago, LOL

its been running since......4am (9am now, and im doing leak test at the same time, yup, leak testing a live system!), and its foooooooooking LOUD!

and fooooooooooking HOT!

not sure if its because i've plugged in the 6pin power in that caused it to run hotter.......but i'll tell ya......as soon as someone come up with a good block for it, im gonna water it!

oops, quality is a bit crap, didnt sleep!

and.....the black bit on the card, it isnt bracing, its a heat spreader (thing) for the memory on the back of the card......2900 has memory chips on both side.....
 
ok........after 2 days......i've found one problem.....

sometimes, in websites that uses many different colours, or a lot of boxes, the display will

up a bit, like.....image blurr.....or not in the right place....

refresh/scroll up/down would sort it out, but then the card will do a VPU recovery....

anyone noticed this?
 
I am also getting this problem... VPU recovery when surfing with IE7, and also lines on some IE Pages, and when I highlight and click and drag more than 9 desktop icons, I get desktop tearing... Also, sometimes I'd get complete crash while watching a video...

Here's what I have tried:

Swapped Sapphire 2900xts with a new one.

Switched CPU e6420 to E6600 (Both stock and OC settings do the same)

Changed mobo from Asus P5N32-E (680i) to Asus P5k Deluxe

Switched Powersupply from OCZ 700W to PC&C SQ75W (750W)

Changed HDs from 680i RAID to ICH9 Raid.

Reinstalled windows xp pro 32bit a total of 4 times... and same problem... sometimes I don't even get VPU recovery and crashes my system...

This was over the course of 2 driver releases... sigh.

hmmmmm.........

i've only notice one website i visit that makes weird lines or image blurr, and thats always the one that makes a VPU revcovery...

the only other problem i've come across, is trying to use 'water reflection' options in AoE3, it'll lose image, and turn the whole thing into a black and white game....

i've bung this on my HTPC just incase it was my mobo/cpu/ram problem, but same thing

blah.....me feel cheated! lol

Try a PSU booster thingy?
Click to expand...

i hope its not because my PSU isnt powerful enough.....Enermax 720w.....

i've plugged in the 8pin AND 6pin power in, but it still have a VPU recovery problem

i hope its just a driver problem......
