I got 2 9700 pro's here. They both work. They will post, boot into winxp, fine. Just not in my system. I was told that my motherboard (Abit KX7-333) was not good with earlier revisions of the 9700. I tiold 2 people at ATI this. So today when I eagerly open the package I got in the mail.... same damn revision card. Knowing it would not work, I installed it anyways just so I could tell ATI that I did. Did the same thing. I get a post beep, then a corruped screen.
So now I have 2 cards here, one I paid 310 for, and one I paid 400 for the pre-ship. I have already emailed ATI about this. Unfortunatly, I got home late (because of a traffic ticket) and missed being able to call them by a few minutes.
This sucks. Im getting charged interst on top of all of that because I used my credit card on both of them.
Whats a guy to do? I could send both cards back, head out and buy one from a store and hope it is the right revision, or by a craptastic 75dB GeforceFX.
