Yep, my card now POSTs and runs 3D/etc., stressing it now with a game for a few minutes but I tried Crysis a moment with a saved spot I used for trying framerate testing before the bad flashing, and it has the same FPS at that location without any artifacting/anomalies... W1zzard = . Hope the next test goes as well as mine is... don't want to call it too early but the fix he's made does seem to work.
