:mad: That ain't pretty. I love how you did attempt to give 3D a shot with it anyways, I woulda too. :p:
Most likely one of the memory chips that has died :(
got the same thing with my 8800GTX vince :D
pixel error in bios to ?
I had a card do the same. Then wouldn't boot at all. I threw in a PCI card and booted to windows. I shut down and reinstalled the card on the second slot. It booted fine. I went back to the first and had to reinstall drivers. It worked fine for awhile until I smoked the core with a homemade dice tube zip tied to it. :(
outch!!!!!!
Just what I was thinking. I got a similar pattern once on a video card a few years ago and it was due to damaged memory chips.Quote:

Only once have I been able to fix a card once it is blown like that.
Take a hair dryer or a heat gun and cook around the memory, let it cool down and try it again.

I tried to heat it with heat gun and actually managed to get some of the moisture out under the memory chips but no help. Maybe ultra sound washing machine would help :P

Ran in my system until about 2 weeks ago when I got this 2900. I thought I killed it with condesation another time too....but no, just can't finish it off!
Try surgical spirits, it's always worth a shot.
WOW vince sweet score :p
