As you may be aware, not all 8800GTs are compatible with motherboards with old VIA chipsets or with PCIE 1.0/1.0a. My Palit 8800GT Super + 1GB isn't, but others have made thier cards compatible in thier latest firmwares. A lot of people have solved this issue by flashing a different bios onto thier card then modifying the timings and fan settings. I'd love to do this but I need the BIOS off of a 1GB card which is very hard to find as it's not in many of the databases and some companies like MSI have a live update service so you can't just download the BIOS straight off thier site.
As far as I know, XFX, EVGA and MSI have all fixed the issue in thier latest firmwares, and they have 1GB cards... so if somone with one of said cards would be able to make a copy of the bios on thier card with nibitor, and give me a shout, I'd appreciate it. Or you could be a good samaritan and submit it to techpowerup's database.
I would perfer a card that is not factory OCed (so 600MHz core/1800MHz mem) but I should be able to get things going even with an OCed bios if I edit some settings. Again, it must be a version with 1GB of memory and have the latest bios version.
I would really appreciate it if somone could help me out, because I'm not going to buy a new motherboard as that would mean I would have to buy a new CPU and RAM in my case which just isn't going to happen. I have spent weeks researching and working on this issue and Palit technical support has so far been painfully slow. I have been waiting for 2 weeks for a bios from them. It's been 24 days since I got the card and it still isn't working. Jesus, I am so fed up with this right now.
