Well,
My buddy just got his 6800 Ultra and it's just not working. In BIOS, startup, just everywhere, artifacts. Moving dots and lines all over the screen. Off the bat I thought it was a faulty video card. So we swapped out my BFG 6800 Ultra, same thing. Put his in my computer, looks fine. Plays Doom3 great.
So I call the fine folk @ BFG tech support (who were awesome I might add) and they had me try various things. None of them work. Giga-byte was closed but I'm gana have my buddy call them tomorrow but I doubt they will be much help. So I turn to you guys. First the specs:
Athlon FX-53
Gigabyte K8 Triton K8NSNXP-939
2 GB Corair XMS 3200 Pro
WD Raptor 360's in RAID-0
SB Audigy 2 ZS
Antec Trupower 550w
Here's everything I've tried so far.
*Up AGP voltage +0.1v
*Disable Fast Writes
*Drink beer
*Flash MOBO BIOS
*Used RivaTuner to underclock video card
*Unplugged everything from power supply exept HD's and video card
*Drink more beer
*Lots of cursing and yelling at the machine
*Switch from DVI to Analog (getting desperate)
*Watch as buddy examines his Doom3 box while praying for god to smite him now and get it over with.
*Went home to play Doom3 on my machine and leave buddy in pain.
Thats all I can think of ATM. Thanks in advance and all that stuff.
