Nvdia 8800 Flicker Bug |
Saw this in my rss feed today...
Techbargains.com - XFX PVT94PYDF4 GeForce 9600GT 512MB PCI Express Video Card $129.99
http://www.techbargains.com/news_displayItem.cfm/115693
Its not an 8  and its about the price of an 8
While we still dunno for sure if the bug continues into the 9 Series, I've never had anyone post about problems with a 9 Series.

I bet it is since the 9 series is a misnomer, they are still 8 series chips.

Series 9 is different, the chips might be similar but the programming and how they do stuff is different.
Still not heard back from the guinea pig who was going to test a Series 9 and report back but I gotta think people who bought killer new cards would be screaming if AC was misbehaving...
Everyone needs to make their own choices at this point, but i saw a deal I thought was good and might help some people.

Myself I have a gateway laptop with the popular 8800 gts with 512 mb, system memory 3 gigs, dunno if all you comps partially share, but my use approximately 1200 megabytes from system memory, reaching almost 1800 megabytes.
I'm not sure if its the same thing, but when I'm out in the open land of dereth, I get glitches on the skies graphics, I've tried to fix it but no results, this only happens to the sky.

ty immortalbob, we've figured that this is a failure on Turbines side in the code or Nvidia.
Turbine has shown they don't give a *redacted* about their customers by ignoring the issue hoping it will go away. The problem they can't figure out is we as a group rarely buy the super high end cards just to play AC, but when the Series 8 cards that were so expensive are now affordable as companys just want to move the inventory that more and more customers are going to find themselves having this bug and when they see the only time Turbine addressed the issue was over a year ago and never did any sort of follow up, then find the people who tried to find the source of the problem and got not a peep form Turbine... they will see Turbine fail yet again to do anything for their customer base.

I have a 9800 GX2 on the way. I'll see if the same issue exists with that. Should be sometime mid-next week before I have the system built.
For those interested in builds here's my current pick:
Intel Q6600 (expect >3.2Ghz OC)
ASUS Rampage Formula
2 x Raptor X 150 RAID 0
8GB G.Skill PC-8500
Noctua U12 cpu cooler
Lian-li V2000b case
Gigabyte ODIN 800W PS
XFX 9800 GX2 video card
Plextor SATA DVD-RW
Vista Ultimate 64
Still many more pieces to go (I have 10 3.5" bays left to fill with 750GB/1TB drives in a RAID 6 config
