Thought I posted this earlier, didn't seem to find it...
Well, I purchased the 7950 GX2 about a week ago and I didn't have quite the same problems...
Here's what goes on...
Mild to moderate snow - Kinda like little dots blinking randomly around the screen.
During gameplay I get Slight video tearing - Graphics randomly appearing around the screen, little to big chunks of the wall or other garbage flashing randomly
When I run 3dmark, and you get to this dragon/zepplin video, the whole screen blinks with random colors.
Alt-tabbing the whole screen garbles... sometimes, its like every other time when I alt-tab it goes to windows fine, or garbles the whole screen.
Here's what I got...
M2N32-SLI DELUXE 4200+ Dual Core
550w Power supply
xforce Nvidia 7950 GX2
2g Ram
Here is what I have done...
Flashed the bios to 603 version
tried the 91.31 driver
tried the 91.33 driver
updated the platform drivers 9.35
Windows SP 2
I'm baffled, and it being a Saturday, I have no idea what to do. I mean performance wise, everything seems to run smoothly with the exception of these video problems when I run a game. I am assuming it is a driver problem, but w/o any support from Nvidia itself, I have turned to xfx and Asus who are both closed today. Windows and some older games seem to be fine, just anything from Call of Duty 2 to Fear is a total nightmare to play. BTW, I don't believe its overheating issues, I get a 37 degree temp off the motherboard and a 56 degree temp from the vid card. Everything is brand new in the case with the exception of the HD and SB Aud. ZS card, which were both fine in my other case.
...Now I have figured out if I disable the Multi-GPU Config I don't have ANY of the graphics problems, the problem with that is, only get half the benefits from the card. Seems kinda stupid to have a huge paperweight in the box ya know?
I have also switched out to my brother in laws computer, it had the same problems on a different board. I installed his ATI 1900 in my computer, and everything ran fine... The problems follow the card I suppose. I am not 100% sure its a bad card, but nobody seems to have the problem I am describing. Just looking for some feedback I guess...
