Hey guys!
I'm bit confused now :confused:
Here's the thing:
Two days back i bought brand new XFX 8600GTS 256MB/128Bit.
1) it looks like this:

What's wrong with it? I can't find any 256MB version over teh internet, that looks like mine. Only 512MB versions. Ok it's no the thing to die for.

2) No video signal on DVI outputs. Only on S-video. I tried everyhing i could imagine (different monitor, DVI -> D-SUB adapter, reinstall drivers, clear CMOS) and nothing, still no signal on DVI. Nvidia CP neither Win Display properties can't detect anything connected to DVI. S-video output works right.

Any suggestions what to do? Can i fix it by myself or just RMA it?
Thanks! ;)

rma straight away mate. for a new card the least you expect is to get a signal off the dvi, its faulty

Yeah, I'm with Mullered on this one. if the DVI don't work and all you get is signal from the S-video, its not worth it. The ports are dead or faulty. Not something I would want to deal with. Or even try to fix myself.
