I had acquired a ATI X800 XL PCIE card and installed it into my ga970a-ud3 mobo. Hooked up my CRT and immediately was shown garbled text and corrupt colors with smiley faces (looked like a frozen NES game). I thought the RAMDAC was bad on the card so I installed it in a core2 duo mobo, hooked up an LCD with the same DSUB vga port (only has one), and no problems! I was surprised!
I was ready to leave a bad review after getting corruption on the x800 xl, but it appears there must be some deliberate incompatibility with first generation PCIE cards on my ga-970a-ud3.
Anyone else almost leave a bad review because of something similar?
