Hi there and thanks in advance for you help with this but this is something i need help with. I have just got my GTX 480 TODAY and was like a little kid at christmas but was unaware of the problems i would run into. The problem is.
At first when i pluged the gtx in i turned on and noticed NO POST SCREEN. so i took it out and put my 9800gt back it and it worked so i turn back off and put the gtx back in but under a diffrent pci-e slot and still no joy i tried all slots and changed all leads from the psu and still no joy, Now i restarted just after that and started reading the motherboard screen to see error code and it says 7F. Reading up on this is the worst error which is not good to hear. basicly something is wrong. so i reseated the card a few more times in difrent slots and then plugged in the 9800 at the same time mix matching it and yeah i got it to work.
I will not show the post screen it will just go stright through and go stright to indown which GOD KNOW HOW BUT IT DOSE SHOW GRAPHICS BUT RESTARTED IT AND YEAH NO POST SCREEN AGAIN BUT WILL BOOT AND THEN SHOW GRAPHICS IN WINDOWS.
To clear anything up this is my system specs
EVGA 680i SLI
Intel q6600 + Zulman areoflower
4gb Kingston Hyper-X DDR2
Antec 1200 Case WITH EXTRA FANS
Corsair HX1000 PSU
Also i have noticed that the Subvendor is NVIDIA in gpu-z and normally it says eg. XFX, EVGA, ASUS GIGABYTE ECT ECT What i was to know is how could i tell if this is an engineering sample or a prerelese as i have never had this in gpu-z befor and i downloaded it today so not using an old version its the latest. hear is a screen shot or GPU-Z

Tell me what ya think guys and tell mw how i can overcome this, also i have noticed that the frame rates are not much diffrent then my 9800gt about 10fps more maybe in battlefield bad company 2 with everything maxed out obvious the 9800gt is only 8 or 16x AA and AF whear as i was using 32x AA and 16x AF and using 1080p res. And the biggest flaw is the heat OMG 99c in crysis system was starting to crash and had to force it to close. tell me what ya think guys. Thanks John
