NMI Parity error - 2005/04/15 22:47
Way back in the early Detonator 2x.xx driver days there was a specific error with AMD based Tyan 762 (Thunder K7) mobo's and NVIDIA FX based GPU's. This error was addressed by Tyan in the BIOS, by AMD with updated chipset drivers, and also by NVIDIA with their drivers. The problem was fixed. At least it appeared to be fixed for the next few years. Until just a few months back. Every leaked driver as well as the official drivers after 71.24 have generated the nightmare NMI: Parity Error. I can actually uninstall the 76.50 leaked drivers right now and go back to the 71.24 drivers and the NMI: Parity Error will go away. This strongly points to my setup being configured correctly and healthy. It also points directly at the drivers. This error does not occur with DirectX applications, it only happens with OpenGL applications. Way back in the 2x.xx days, it was a DirectX as well as OpenGL issue.
Is there a way to insure that NVIDIA knows that this issue is back and needs to be addressed? I love my machine, it runs sweet, I should not have to run out and buy a new computer because NVIDIA video card drivers and Tyan mobos don't play well. This issue was resolved for 3 plus years, and suddenly its back. How can we insure that NVIDIA is addressing this? Do we know if anyone at NVIDIA visits this site?
