9800 Pro Woes with Gigabyte - VIA v. nForce chipset question
I just started building a new machine, and to my dissatisfaction the
Gigabte GA - 7S748-L has not lived up to expectations. I have been trying to run the 9800 pro in 8x mode to get a lot of instability ( FFXI causes the screen to go out of sync, and becomes black, forcing a reboot) After updating all the latest drivers for the SiS Chipset, and Catalyst drivers, and latest drivers for the BIOS . . . AND actually getting in touch with Giga-Byte . . . this board is going back. I have looked at the A7N8X and A7V (VIA v. nforce) chipsets. I will have a $75.00 credit when I take the GigaByte back. DO I throw more money into getting the A7N, or just cut my losses and buy the board with the VIA chipset and be done? This is very aggravating. I have seen TONS of posts about going 8X, and what is frustrating me is the false advertising. I WILL SAY however, that the folks at Giga-byte were VERY good and easy to talk to. I am running an AMD 2600XP, the box has great cooling and a 350W power supply. Temp inside the box ranges from 28-30C. (It was cooler before swapping the 9800 Pro in -- that thing is a horse). Inputs needed. Thanks tons. - Colorado |
