    Just got one and it had all sorts of graphics errors at bootup...

    Sent it back to Overclock.co.uk and they contacted Gainward (it was the XP750) who said there may be a problem with some Nvidia Memory chips.

    Anyway a leadtek A250 on its way to me today but just to let you know that if you are getting problems that cannot be driver issues then you're not alone.


    Moral of the story? Shop from Overclock.co.uk they've been very helpful and good custy service.

    Hmmm - no graphical errors for me on my MSI.

    I just can't get the bloody drivers installed on XP!!:sigh:

    It (XP) keeps insisting that the card is new hardware when I boot...:eyebrow: :rolleyes:

    Problem sorted - for me at least.

    Tried everything - new 4 in 1 drivers, new mobo bios all of the XP updates etc etc. Nothing - same problem as before.

    Reinstall of XP, followed by the MSI provided 27.50 detonators, followed by the nvidia 28.32 worked.

    Quick boot of QIIIA, 1200 * 1024 with everything on max + Quincunix AA, gave me 106fps.

    Wow.:eeek:

    If only my monitor was capable of higher resolutions....:D
