I have purchased the BFG 6800GS OC for my older agp based system. The mobo is a abit bd7-ii RAID. Based on the intel 845E chipset.
It doubled my score compared to my ati9700 pro in 3d mark but does so with massive artifacting there and in games.
I have flashed my BIOS up to the latest version. My mobo runs agp at 4X and is v2.0 complient. The psu is an enermax 431 watter with the correct or exceeding ampage on each rail (bfg mention 18 amps on the 12v rail- my psu does about 40 amps)
I have used several drivers, always starting with the 82.12 which are recomended for this model of card. I have even tryed a totally fresh install of windows with bios/chipset/graphics drivers all bang up to date.
Regardless i still recieve massive corruption and this is the second card i have had off them (i have sent it back once - but i recieved no worksheet on the replacement so i do not know if it is a new one or the original)
Has anyone experianced a similer problem?
Has anyone got any advice for me?
(besides try it on another system which is next on my 'to-do list'.
All opinions are very welcomed!
