i just rma'd mine with evga. 1 week turn around from when i dropped it off at ups. all of the paper work came from evga.

 

[balls2dawall]

never had problems with evga; actually, only brand I will buy.

I've always had good luck with XFX and Sapphire. I won't touch anything MSI.

 

[CorkyD]

What model? What is the problem?

 

[CallSignDuke]

when its all powered up and I boot the system up the monitor doesn't recognize any input
its http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130527

it runs and boots to windows... as I can hear it ... but I see black screen....
if it was a bios problem it wouldnt be going that far into windows... and its not a driver problem either

 

[CorkyD]

does your motherboard have onboard video at all?

 

[CallSignDuke]

No

 

[CorkyD]

and other video cards work ok in the PCI-e slot?

 

[CallSignDuke]

yup

 

[CorkyD]

Bummer dude. Sorry for the 20 questions, I was hoping I could get er' goin for you. Good luck with the RMA.

Get yourself a HD5850 and be done with it. It will walk all over that 275 anyway.

Newegg.com - UPS Return Shipping Label Cancelled

For $340 you can almost get a 5870 which you'll get a lot more out of than that "co-op" crap imo (unless you REALLY care a LOT about physx). Take a look at ebay and keep in mind 8% bing cashback for buy-it-now (price only, not shipping).

ive been really happy with my evga gtx260. my original had "tearing" or "artifiacting" on serious sam HD. they had me download a few programs to run stress tests, then email the results. they said the card had a fault and shipped me a new one via RMA. it works great.

i played bc2 for like 8hrs today (yes i stopped to eat... pizza rolls...) and it was so smooth.

What kind of monitor are you using; it seemed like I had an issue that it wasn't HDCP; I think I used a regular VGA monitor to fire up past boot, installed new vid drivers, & everything worked out. If you have a bad vid card you MB should beep a code to let you know.

Heres a dumb question, but have you tried a different monitor cable? I had a comp that showed all the signs of a dying graphics card, then replaced the monitor, then tried the other monitor with a new cable and it worked.

 

[CallSignDuke]

y would the monitor cable work for my 8800 and not the 275 ?

An Envision and the card does not beep on boot up

Good point; could be a DVI-D or DVI-I cable; that is about the time all that changed.
