  • nVidia "Test"

    I put a Visiontek Xtasy in my machine a few hours ago for testing. Unfortunately I cannot comment on the picture quality as the card seems to be non-functional. Shall have to get RMA from mwave.com for this client.

    I recently got a PNY Verto Ti 4400 and it's picture quality is excellent at least @12x10 and below.. My main monitor is Samsung SyncMaster 757NF.

    One weird thing about the card is that somehow it always boots with the (analog) flat display, whether it is connected to the VGA connector or the DVI-I one..
    There's no place like 127.0.0.1

      Denty,

      Is it a GF4 MX? If so, it may never work for you. I can't run them in my machine - many people can't. nVidia is on the verge of having a full-blown scandal on their hands, when their cheap cards don't run but the $400 ones do.

        Nope, it is a GeForce4 Ti 4600 with 128MB RAM with VGA and DVI connectors as well as VIVO. Doesn't work in my Abit KT7 or the client's EPoX 8KHA (AMD DDR Chipset) mobo. The client is the 12 y/o son of one of my regular clients and he just about had a fit. This should have replaced his AIW Radeon which was problematic under counterstrike.

          how about a Link?
          Sounds interesting....

            nVidia wouldn't be responsible. the card manufacturers would.

              Except that almost everybody implements the nVidia reference design. And who's to say it isn't a chip issue, rather than a board design issue?

                Especially for the MX versions.

                Every board is an nVidia-designed board.

                  Not every board uses the nVidia reference design.

                    Like? Canopus is about the only nVidia maker that has a history of going off the beaten path.

                      ASUS & ELSA, also I believe that Gainward has as well.

                      edit: Hercules/Guillemont too.

                        Incorrect. Hercules/Guillemot are all reference designs. Guillemot USED to do their own designs... not any more.

                          Ok, thank you for correcting me Gurm. But... my point still stands, not every nVidia card follows the reference design.

                            Your point was moot. Nobody ever said that they are all using nVidia designs.

                              I suppose I misunderstood what Gurm had said earlier.
