ATI AIW 9800Pro Quality Control???
Hi,
To all I just received AIW 9800Pro and upon first cold boot screens were corrupted. Switched from 300W PS to 480W PS and no improvement. I have since read numerous stories of people receiving these specific AIW 9800Pro cards with the same problem: Video is corrupted at first boot! A couple of people indicated that they have gone through three cards to get one that worked as advertised. This greatly increases the cost to an already expensive card. I purchased the AIW 9800Pro vice the 9800Pro as the price was not that much more and allows video editing using the AIW. It is costing me more than I thought and I am of the opinion that ATI must be aware of the problem. Anyone had a similar experience? Thanks, Scott |

Yes, I swapped 3 times at Best Buy before I got a card with no
distortions in the overlay and the capture. "Scott Davis" wrote in message ... Hi, To all I just received AIW 9800Pro and upon first cold boot screens were corrupted.
