well i called BFG about the 8800gt i got at bb, ashen and i each had one, both where bad, 2d was fine but ANYTHING that accessed more then the base 2d of the card caused INSTANT BSOD and restart under x64 and 2003 32bit, BFG rep said he has himself fielded over 175 calls about the same thing happening to other people, said to wait a couple weeks and hopefully the bad batch would be off the market, seems Nvidia has shiped some flawed boards(all nvidia cards are made on nvidia boards)

im quite upset as is ashen, his x1900xtx died last week and hes using a temp card thats just pathetic, hopefully we can find him something decent as a replacement, hes very wary of buying another 8800gt after today, may just get him a 2900pro from the egg if they have any of the cheap ones left tomarow night :)

Now I'm glad they backordered mine! I have since cancelled the order. Might as well see what the G92 GTS is like.

You know, that is the one reason I use Nvidia stuff again, companies like BFG and eVga are really awesome!

no its not, call bfg yourself 1-866-234-3499

and it seems a few other brands where hit as well, seen reports(few and far between but a few none the less) of pny, gigabyte, msi all having been hit with cards that are fine in 2d but that crash as soon as you try and run any 3d apps or even the control panil to change settings.

please GLD call them, tell them u just got an 8800gt and are having these problems, they will tell you the same thing they told me im sure, that they have gotten way to many calls about these new cards and that it was probbly a bad batch of pcb's from nvidia, not blaming BFG, shit happens.

as to support, powercolor,asus,his,gecube and a few others have great support for their ATI cards.

but i advise avoiding MSI, they told ashen it will be 4-6 weeks to rma his 1900xtx........no im not joking, an thats why he wont buy an msi 8800gt dispite them being in stock a few places on froogle, who wants to wait that long for a videocard to be replaced?

asus mobo support sucks, videocards, 2 week turnaround tops, 10-14days from the time they get it tops, took less then that last time i sent a card back.

oh bgf did say that ALOT of the calls they have gotten have been from bestbuy cards, so i duno how many posts u will see, if it was the egg or zzf or the like selling BFG 8800gt's u would see reports on the egg and allover forums, but it seems its mostly hitting retail sellers :(

may try and get an XFX if zzf comes in stock with them sometime this week and i havent found something decent for him(and myself for that matter.....cant let him upgrade and me stay with this x1950 card!!!)

to MSI's credit, 1900XTXs are out of production so they were most likely giving themselves some leeway with the RMA since they probably won't be able to just send him a brand new one

If my comment was out of place, my bad, but as you can probably tell, I not a ashen fan. Just reading others referring to him hits a nerve. Good luck with those nVidia cards.

I have been hearing about this issue with the BFG brand. There have been a few cases at Hardforum too, so avoid the BFG cards. My PNY is fine.

ah, but i rma'd a x800pro vivo for a buddy a few weeks ago to asus, and its been out of production longer, guess what, asus just upgraded it to a card they had in stock (19*0 card), and when ashen sent in his old x800xt pe they sent him a replacement referb card(agp) of the same model, rep told him if they hadnt had 800xt pe's they would have just sent him one they had in stock that was todays equivlant(probbly a 2600xt hd card or the like)

msi on the other hand says 4-6 fing weeks to replace a card........thats a long time to be without a decent videocard, i fully understand why hes pissed and unwilling to buy from them again.

corse i have heard worse about gigabyte, been told by a few ppl that it took them months to get replacement parts because gb wouldnt just replace the part with something equivlant they wanted to give back the exect same item, tho i have also been told that since they became part of asus the rma supports gotten better

yeah i have seen 2 reports of pny cards with same problems, think its just that nvidia themselves let a batch of bad pcb's get back qa and most went to bfg but some got to other makers......sucks but its a good reasion to be carful, maby even wait a week or 2 like bfg said and buy one local, that way if its fubar u can just swap it out or get ur $ back.

and GDL ashen is the one who said i should warn people here, he didnt want anybody else to have those problems, you may not like him but im his best friend and i know hes a good guy, never means anybody any harm, tho he can be a bit of an ass at times :) but cant we all if we are honest with ourselves :p

Spoon..........He may be your BFF, but he got himself banned from here for not being a good guy. Talking about possible 8800 GT problems, OK. Bringing up your (banned) buddies name over and over, not OK imo. He was a complete trash mouth when he was here. It just seems like trolling imo.

humm, maby you should "move along, move along" as a tour guide would say, if you dont like ashen and his friends then, well u got a good number of ppl on here that u shouldnt like, jc included.

so please, if u dont like it "STFU and GTFO" as my father would say, your not contributing anything to this conversation but flamebait.....and you call ashen bad.......

well, he was banned, wasn't he?

Anyhow, I'm glad I didn't have the $$$ to get a card right away. But it should be over in a few weeks, I suppose.. :)

|seems Nvidia has shiped some flawed boards(all nvidia cards are made on nvidia boards)|


That's the other reason I was worried for other TPU members, rushing out to buy first generation FIRST shipment wave of GTs.


I guess that 'low' price made them blind to rationale :)

Problems will cease if you stop advertising for at... jesus, ashen's name causes problems itself...

Anyway, this problem doesnt really mean that 8800GTs are bad or anything, its just a mistake by Nvidia. Nothing else. Geez... i so badly want one atm.
