How can this vid card not support Vista? I wonder if they mean that it is not DX-10 compatible? Obviously it works with Vista. Well it doesn't work perfectly, but it does work. From the sound of things, I have nothing to look forward to when I get my card back from Newegg's RMA process. I bought...

Kanma, maybe I was being overly flammatory but I do think people should be very cautious with a post like that. It is likely that not everyone reading this thread would consider the malicious possibilities. I appreciate good intentions and hope your programming abilities are good-natured and...

Who would take an executable file claimed to be a driver, from somebody that nobody knows, a nooby who has not made any other posts on this site, and has no information in their public profile, and install it on their system? Of course there might be the off-chance that this person is legit, but...

Bad news: my x1950xt just died on me. I was still running it at stock speeds, nothing out of the ordinary. Put the pc in "sleep" mode last night but started it up this morning with NO video signal. I've changed out everything from cables to the power supply. No POST errors, just no video...

I really think you should do that Max. Maybe you could substantiate your claim enough that someone from ATI would listen.

cy says he'll go with Nvidia. They don't have any Vista drivers at all so you won't be bettering yourself at the moment. Maybe by the time you get the RMA wrapped up and your new Nvidia card installed there will be some drivers ready for you.

Disabling the poller worked for me. Guess that'll do for now.

CY, Yeah, it didn't work for me either. Did you use the Cat's automated uninstall or did you use some more thorough, manual method?

Maxkilling..I'm sure everyone here appreciates your interest in this problem. It sounds like you have a thorough understanding of the factors in play. I follow the logic of your theory but I have nothing to test it. I don't have any tools to measure the voltage being consumed by the card. ATI...

armon01, you can submit a trouble ticket by starting on this page: http://support.ati.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=894.

I submitted a trouble ticket at AMD/ATI's website. I figured the more the better.

Druneau, that's basically what I was doing yesterday with ATI Tools. One difference: I was playing Flight Sim X (FSX) in windowed mode while bumping up the sliders on ATI Tools. I couldn't get them very high without crashing the driver though (as you pointed out). Besides, I wasn't seeing any...

I've been posting about this for a week over on Sapphire's forum and was beginning to think I was the only one with this problem. This problem is very frustrating! One more factor to add to this thread: If you go into Device Manager and uninstall the x1950xt, then let Vista reinstall it...
