Palit GeForce 8800 GT Super 1GB, about VIA chipset issue? - 2008/05/19 12:30 Hi there, this is my first post so I'm sorry if this topic already exists for that card. I got it some month ago and it wasn't working cause of the shitty VIA chipses on my board. I thought they might fix it with a BIOS update or such thing but updating my BIOS didn't help. So now I'm starting to look for a fix and found lots of answers concerning the problem. Currently I don't know anymore what to do and I am very desperate with the situation.

I read fixing the card with nvFlash and NiBiTor but other sites say this works only with first series of cards. Others suggest and that would be the safest thing to buy a new mainboard. I know that currently the prices are low but I am scared that I have to reinstall Windows Vista and all programs, so I don't want to do that. The third suggestion was to use another BIOS from another the manufacturer. It seems that you guys have a lot of experience with this problem, so I hope you can help me through the situation.

Re:Palit GeForce 8800 GT Super 1GB, about VIA chipset issue? - 2008/05/19 19:47 Okay that is the typical issue between VIA chipsets and the G92 based GeForce 8800 series graphics cards and the only fix is with some newer BIOS for the graphics card as VIA who is the bad guy has no means to fix it, so NVIDIA came up with some way to do it, though has only released an update for the reference design version of the GeForce 8800 GT which only supports 512MB memory. For the other versions it is really up to manufacturer to rework that BIOS and come up with a version that works. Normally a BIOS version of 62.92.24.x or newer is good to flash with.
