Anyone using GeForceFX 5900 Ultra with SGI 17.3" LCD or Apple 22" 1600x1024 LCD?
Greetings:
On my system on a ABIT BE6IIv2.0 Pentium III 1Ghz 133FSB Motherboard using the Intel 440BX chipset and my display being a SGI (Silicon Graphics Inc) 17.3" 1600x1024 16:10 60hz LCD display via DVI. I had no issues with a PNY Verto GeForce3 Ti500 64MB. However, with the BFG Technologies Asylum GeForceFX 5900 Ultra 256MB, what appears to happens is that everything from the BIOS Power on self testing, bios setup, and DOS would have the text flickering and blury with streaks between the characters as well as on the Award BIOS main screen where the Energy Star logo is, part of the yellow on the right side is on the left side of the screen. The screen is running at 1600x1024 at 63.36Hz. The problem seems to occur with everything before the Windows XP logo since everything after that is fine. I'm not sure what the AGP version on the Intel 440BX chipset is but the GeForce3 Ti500 requires a AGP 2.0 port and I did have some issues initially which was fixed with a newer version of Nvidia firmware for the video card. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Vince |

Just wondering if you have enough power supply juice for that beast of a
card? regards B "Vincent Poy" wrote in message .154...

I should since I have a PC Power & Cooling Turbo-Cool 450ATX which is
450Watt sustained rated at 40C degrees and it's already a conservative rating as the peak output is way higher. Here are the specs: DC Output: +5V @ 50A +12V @ 18A -5V @ 0.3A -12V @ 2A +3.3V @ 40A +5VSB @ 2A +5V & +3.3V300W Regulation: 1% (+5, +12) 3% (-5, -12) 1% (+3.3) Ripple: 1% (p-p) Hold Time: 20ms PG Delay: 300ms The other issue is that the AGP is running at 100Mhz and not 66Mhz as there is no 1/2 divider on the 440BX chipset so it runs on 2/3 divider. And the AGP is AGP 1.0 and not 2.0. So I don't even know if the voltage output is meeting the requirements since I remember 2.0/3.0 uses 0.8v/1.5v but I think some AGP standard is 3.3volts as well.
