I just stepped up from a 7800GTX to a 7900GTX and let me say.. the 7900GTX has given me the most grief ever.
Card is suffering from
Loss of signal after closing Games (Ut2004 and Microsoft Flight Simulator)
Artifacting (Quake 4)
Failing to properly run 3DMark 06 (Final Test)
Random lockups and slowdowns
Now ... When i was running my 7800GTX w ACS (factory overclocked) I had ABSOLUTLELY NO PROBLEMS .. not even 1 and im not exaggerating. Ive noticed that these problems with the 7900 series is widespread as the very same problems are popping up at all the major hardware forums and reseller forums. Some people are on their fourth RMA and they still have problems. WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?? and Why arent the Major review Sites bringing This issue to Nvidias attention and to the rest of the buying public?
Ive visited this website and THG's website on a daily basis for years and i highly value the reviews on the site but after this hoopla im going to have to take a dim view in regards to the independence of review sites.. Its issues like these that should be reviewed as well ... NOT JUST PERFORMANCE BENCHMARKS.
Im appealing to the powers that be on this website.. If you dont think that theres something wrong with the 7900GT/GTX series and their stability... Clear the air and review its stability. These problems are waaaaay too similar and widespread to be a random dud card.
Thank You
