Anyone buy a Gigabytee GTX275 on this week only? A cautionary tail.

Bios Update has now been released and appears to have solved the issue (for me anyway).
Just a heads up if you are running windows 7 use the Gigabyte Bios update tool in compatibility mode for Vista SP2, or it wont run.
 
im having this problem .. i have 2x 275 cards i have updated the bios and installed windows 7 .. will update when done .. so far can see bootup screen ,, but then goes black ...if i unplug the dvi lead then blug it back in i then can login.....
p.s i will update my sig soon sorry ..new member on the forums here
 
little update with my setup....using vga port 100% ok from cold start or reboot
dvi... black screen... or no icons tool bar...anyone else stil getting this after bios update
on gfx cards?
 
ok thanks i do notice when i check nvidia panel with vga lead in , it only detects a single card display
but when i do get in on dvi it detects as 2 card display .. so thats why i black screen as its on the other display unplug dvi lead and plug back in it works
but i cant work like this .. any advise un retuning and changing cards please
would be great..
 
I had a similar issue but this was down to a driver problem. Basically every time I went chanaged settings up would cut te monitor signal meanig a rebbot.

This probelm stopped when I used 182.50 drivers instead of the latest ones which are just borked..

Out of interest where is the bios updated. Can you link please?

There is very little wrong with the latest drivers, they are fine so long as you have properly compliant graphics cards. The fact that you've had to drop back almost 12 months of drivers would indicate that your card manufacturer is using an older form of SLi (260/280 series), possibly to avoid having to recertify with the newer one.
 
these card could have been good..but really need sorting...
most games i try kick in on 4.3...i cant spend any more time on this:(
 
My card went back for a refund, totally ridiculous a card went out with a fault as obvious as this. Lost all faith in gigabyte products.
