Interesting! Who else besides Gondor is not bugged? Wubbie your list just says Gondor + Others.


I hope there is someone out there with a PCIe 2.0 board with a GTS, or other large chip version card which is considered to be universally bugged. If we get a report of one of those cards working on a 2.0 board that would pretty much prove Wubbie's theory correct IMHO.

I am not sure who the "others" are, as I did not keep track of them. In the last couple months, I had noticed one or two others post that they also had not experienced a problem with the 8800GT 512 and AC.

We MIGHT have a winner here...


I was afeared it might be a Intel vs AMD thingy, but I think we have a winner in PCIe implementation...


Someone send Gondor a known bugged card

PLZ K THKS!

Since those that are not experiencing the "flicker" problem with AC may not be paying attention to this thread, maybe it would be wise to start a different post (on Turbine's boards?), asking for input on the PCIe status of those with 8800 series cards that do not experience this problem? Just a thought.

Mawnee a couple questions


1 - Amd or Intel?

2 - What PCIe revision does your motherboard use? If you can't find it just let me know maker and model number and we will try to find it.

PRAISE THE LORD AND PASS THE AMMO!


We've found someone on the Turbine boards with access to several of the known bugged cards as well as motherboards with the 1.x and 2.0 PCIe interfaces. They have offered to test the cards in both motherboards and report if the problem was there or not.

This is out best chance for seeing if this is where the problem lies.

Cross your fingers, this does not mean we will have an immediate solution but it means we can try tracking this issue to its source which should increase the ability to have this fixed immensely!


wubbie - hopeful
