3rd faulty Gainward FX5900 Non-ultra from Googlegear

[Despotes]

My first one had the scroll wheel bug. 2nd one I was getting the green vertical lines during bootup and in Windows. 3rd one I'm getting alternating green and red vertical lines between each DOS screen during bootup and it won't even boot into Windows.:rolleyes:
Anybody else having problems with Gainward cards from Googlegear?

I Got the exact same model from newegg about 3 weeks ago. It had exactly what your third card had. I RMA'd it the day I recieved it and it turned out that Newegg stopped stocking the card so I was refunded. With the refund I decided to go with the Hercules 9800 pro. I think Newegg had a lot of faulty ones

Heh, shoulda stuck with the first one, driver fix is out for the mouse noise.

I returned the first one before I realized it was a fairly common problem. I read the driver fix helps with the flickering, but may not get rid of the scroll wheel problem completely.

It may be time to add another Gainward Sticky (http://forum.oc-forums.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=117552)

It appears Gainward may have a quality control issue

Hmm I have that modle and havn't had any problems with it. but I didn't buy it from newegg or google. Is that scroll wheel thing caused by the video card? Its pretty annoying.

I have Gainward TI-4200 and works real good. I'm purposely trying to make it die so I can upgrade my car to ATI but it does not wanna die
