thats exactly what those morons did :disgust:

if it wasnt for us bios modders ~ i think 90% of these cards woulda been returned.

i want my commision......

 

[racefan]

You are so right call eVGA and tell they you want your share of the money LOL:thumbsup:

 

[nismos804]

so I'm gana need some kind of flashing program like WFFLASH.EXE with the file also I read that page but I realy didnt get much out of it pretty much the same as this thread I'v been reading this thread since the start

get the boot disk kit

 

[Vallybally]

thats exactly what those morons did

I don't think that explains why a much higher % of NE cards seemed to OC/flash better than the ZZF cards if they are physically the same and only different stock BIOSes...

If I can't find a driver that works right, i'm ditching this thing and going back to my 9700. I'm not about to go out and spend another $100 on XP...

i told you before ~ nV win9x drivers are fubar'ed.
thats what finally got me off w98.

its just a shame that nV drivers was the reason why

Is there any driver out between the 61.34 and 61.76 for Win98/ME users? maybe there is some setting I can make in the NV control panel or something that would at least get me by with the 61.34 for awhile.

I've read through this thread and don't believe I have seen this mentioned but I think evga screwed up the batch of cards that ZZF is selling by loading the standard 6800 BIOS which is 325/700. The n347 BIOS they are sending to people to fix must be the same LE version found in the cards NE was selling. People seem to be having more problems with the ZZF cards so maybe this batch was a lower quality than the NE versions so evga used the standard 6800 BIOS. Oh well, who knows.

I flashed my card with the n347 version and will run some benchies to see if I have any problems. Then I plan to flash with the latest LE-Ultra 1.4 from Thugs and Aonic. Thanks for all your hard work guys.

I have artifacts in 3DMark03 after flashing to the n347 BIOS running at 325/1100 and after uninstalling and reinstalling drivers. Guess I'll have to RMA too.

Yes, Thugsrook deserves a commion from eVGA, I agree. So, let's figure it out.

Commission Calculation for Thugsrook...

Assume Newegg sold 200 Le cards and ZZF sold another 200 cards at $330 average price per card. That is gross revenue of $132,000. Thugs should get about a 20% commission for his work. That commission is calculated to be $26,400.

Thugs should send an Invoice to eVGA for his $26,400 and share with us what happens. I hope that I have not underestimated the percentage commission that Thugs would charge. If I have, them please correct my numbers.

Thank you.

you are ready to RMA it ~ why not at least try the LE to Ultra bios?
if it dont fix it you can always flash back and RMA it.
(they already had you flash to the 325x1100 bios anyways)

if it does fix it, you saved yourself alot of trouble.
(i dont think eVGA will mind if you fix it )

I see you have dropped the 1.5v bios's? which is fine because mine seems completely stable 425/1200 using the last 1.4v vers. I don't use dual DVI, so is there need to really use this latest bios?

 

[johnannie]

For all of you who might still be wanting to buy one of these cards, there is a guy on Ebay auctiong one off with no reserve. http://search.ebay.com/evga-68...ordredirectZ1QQfromZR8

Yah. Thats who I bought mine from. I got lucky and got it for 250 Hes a very nice guy and you can trust him. Good luck to whoever wins it! Oh and I recieved my card today, but Im not done with installing xp on my system yet, so i still dont know if it works or not. Crossing fingers.

 

[johnannie]

$250 wow! you got a good deal.

I know....mind you I didnt even know what the LE was at the time. Bought it before the thread even started. This is proof in case you guys dont believe me Im currently running 3dmark03 on my computer, and everything looks good so far. NO ARTIFACTS !!! Gonna update the bios as soon as its done benchmarking.

yes, there is no more 1.5v.
the new files do support 1.6v for water cooling.
(youll have to edit that yourself tho )

the latest LE-Ultra file is 100% stable and fully functional.
the LE-GT file is for a little more perfomance at the cost of a few (potential) bugs, and of course no dual dvi.

if youre running a LE-Ultra file you should upgrade.
there will be no more LE-Ultra updates, this is the last one, its completed.

It is a opened box and he knows it has a updated bios (how) but it was never tried. I think he bought it and it did not work right and is selling it off.

Nah. I dont think so. I talked to the guy on the phone. He is a VERY trustworthy person. I woudlnt hesitate to buy from him one bit.

Yep I got another LE. It came with the correct clock settings.....325/1100. Everything worked great. Didnt bother to look at the serial number, was too excited to see if it was gonna work Havent done any bios updating just yet, will do that later tonight.

eVGA responded to my question about the ram artifacting, after I already did the RMA.

I guess the cards are physically defective, and there is no plans for a bios update to fix the artifacting.

Question (10/29/2004 8:18:01 PM): Earlier tonight I submitted a question
regarding the ram speed of my video card. In response I was given a bios
update that would set the ram speed to its advertised 1100mhz speed. Ever
since I updated the bios I've been getting heavy artifacts in any 3D
program. If I use a program to lower the ram back to 700mhz the artifacts
go away.

I initially thought that my power supply wasn't enough however I tested
the card in a friends computer that uses a 550watt power supply with
adjustable rails, a perfect 12 volts. Despite this my card suffers the
same artifacts.

This leads me to believe that the card is defective in some way. Is there
anything else I can do to try and get rid of the artifacts? This card is
Limited Edition, if I RMAed would I get the exact same card back or some
other equivalent?


Answer (11/1/2004 5:31:41 PM): Hi Nicholas,
I would recommend submitting for an RMA. You can do so from our web site
at http://evga.com/RMA.
