Guess who broke G80?

W1zzard · Nov 8, 2006

As you are all aware, NVIDIA had to recall all Geforce 8800 GTX cards before today's launch to fix a resistor issue. This will slightly delay the availability of the cards. The GeForce 8800 GTS is unaffected and will be on sale today.

According to this internal problem report from EVGA, it seems that they identified the "resistor" issue by using ATITool Scan for Artifacts and then wondered about the errors.

wow just gos to show even the pro's use ati tool maybe you could get evga to sponsor you

ghost101 · Nov 8, 2006

Haha, i wouldve thought they had specialised testing software. But then again i suppose the more software you use, the better.

Well done W1zzard :toast:

That's got to be a nice feather in your cap W1zzard. :toast:

W1z ownt them LOL. That goes to show you that G80 have a heat issue. I already read one post that says the G80 hovers around 80C full load with HSF. I knew that card couldn't work under those conditions for long and ATI TOOL PROVE IT!!!

i didnt mean to own them at all .. actually when someone posted here about the scan for artifact errors i thought it may have to do with some nvidia image quality tricks ..

according to the test report the resistor problem is that the resistor size allows the over current protection to be triggered during normal use, which is not a heat issue

I see so they had to change that resistor. Thanks for the clarification.

they even prefere to use a beta stage overclock tool made for aticards than others

ATITOOL and W1Z rules :rockout:

regan1985 · Nov 8, 2006

didnt know u could use ati tool to overclock nvida cards!! might have a go on my m8s see if he can get a better overclock

Darksaber · Nov 8, 2006

hmm, besides that picture deplicting some sort of forced animal to animal rape...:shadedshu tasteless in my humble opinion...

does this not constitute commercial use of ATI Tool? Where is your share of the money *G*

cheers

It appears to me that in the rush to get the trick of the week video card or mobo out the door, companies are skipping on quality control and good engineering. The past few years have seen countless defective mobos shipped and quite a few problem vid cards and other hardware that should never have been shipped DOA.

DaMulta · Nov 8, 2006

My bad, I thought that owned Pic fit, because its ATi tool on a Nvidia card lol.

i don't see it as commercial use .. also if i were after money i'd develop boring database applications all day for commercial clients

DaMulta · Nov 8, 2006

You could always put ads in it Wiz.........

W1zzard · Nov 8, 2006

nah thats lame .. desktop ads are the most annoying thing ever .. and chasing advertisers that may be willing to spend more than 10$ a month is just a waste of time

Urlyin · Nov 8, 2006

in most cases your quality control is only as good as your lab rats .... apparently these rats have ATItool in their toolbox... smart rats ... kudos W1zz :toast:

Hats of to you. Your the man W1zzard. :toast:

It just shows that ATi tool scan really stresses the v-card!

Way to go
