Firstly make sure you are using Either Catalyst 6.1 or 6.2, anything previous will cause some major screw ups. Secondly, make sure that any and all nVidia display drivers are removed, this can cause serious issues. Use Drivercleaner to remove them Also, I might add that you've little but bad mouth the X1900, for reasons I don't know. If your friend still have issues with the card, refer to technical support or RMA it if you are certain that it is not a software issue. I think it's pretty obvious to you that it is not functioning correctly. If my X1900 did the same, I would not assume for a minute that the card was operating correctly. Nor would I base my opinion of the card based on performance from a clearly malfunctioning piece of hardware. For what it's worth, I couldn't be more pleased with my X1900, and it was upgraded from a 7800GTX. We all have our preferences, and we all have our reasons for such choices. I think you've made your's pretty clear.

The very fact that you have used an Nvidia card in a system that runs an ATI card is indicative of your driver related problem by itself. Run driver cleaner pro, remove all Nvidia Forceware drivers, and ATI Catalyst drivers. Install the 6.2 ATI Catalysts as Pitch suggested, and try it then.

Nobody(AMD/Intel) did 110nm either, but most x1k series cards are this process size, as were some x8xx series. Just because CPU's are of a certain size structurally does not mean every processor must be. So, yes, it's an 8, as you surmised here: Quote:
I've taken over a new business and am very busy. Once i get my new rigs up and stable, I'll be back crunching WU's for the team....with a total of 10ghz!!! that will take a while tho...no days off really until MAY. ![]() More news will follow, but only as the past 2...one post and I'm gone. Trade shows are a wonderful thing...and it doesn't ahve to be a PC tradeshow for someone to get dirt! next midrange chip to debut....x1800xt...299US for 256MB and falling, 339 for 512mb. ATI's prices are falling...retailers should follow in 3 weeks or so, but newegg has already jumped the gun!

Which version of the drivers did you have installed ? as the ones with the catalyst control centre (CCC) require the .net framework to be installed correctly as well. I once had a problem with the framework which affected graphics performance in some games and not others (3dmark was normal, but live for speed was slow). As for the manufacturing levels, i believe they used to manufacture 10nM Si wafers down the road from me, however it was done by a non standard approach (ie not lithography) I dont know if they've made anything usefull with it either before the place burnt down. IBM were heavily involved in research there |

I dont' have the e-mail response but they issued me RMA's I'm surprised how fast it was. IE, I RMA'ed newegg. They said the will send me new ones.

Wow that was fast I got one of the card back already, brand new works fine, no grain, also a lot of rendering issues are fixed.
