hi, I bought one if these and finally got it yesterday, but im running into a few issues. my previous card was a Geforce 4 ti4600 and i was using the 41.09 drivers without any problems (some of the updated drivers cause minor issues in games and i found these to be the most stable on my system). i uninstalled this card and installed the GFX5950 using the drivers provided (52.14 i think) but so far every set of drivers that supports the FX range has had the same problems. basically it starts off ok, but gradually sparkles begin to appear and it builds up until it gets to a point where textures are stretching and flikering, random pixcels are apearing and flickering all over the place and if i leave it long enough my comp just locks up. this is happening in any game i try, not 1 perticular game. just running windows is fine, this happens in games only. my system is:
athlon xp 2200 (not overclocked, running at 1.8ghz)
Asus A7V8X Motherboard (with AGP and VIA 4in1 drivers up to date)
512MB DDR
Leadtek A380 Ultra Geforce FX 5950 (currently on the 53.03 drivers, but same problem occuring)
SB Audigy
Modem
USB Peripherals:
Mouse
Saitek Cybork 3D Joystick
if anyone has seen this problem before and knows a fix id really appreciate it. Thanks for any help
