HOW TO TELL IF A 8800GTX IS FAULTY

[matt631]

Hi i read somewhere that Nvidia have labelled all there 8800GTX cards that do not contain the fault that they had before launch. Does anyone know where this label maybe and what the information on the label for a correctly working card should read....

All of our cards have already been swapped for a fully working model. If you want a fully working product you are safe to buy from OcUK.

My understanding is that the faulty units where discovered during production and thus pulled/fixed at the time.

I don't think any have reached the retailers but don't quote me!

What im really getting at is.. Does anyone have any more information relating to the article below?

BFGTech, eVGA and XFX have all commented on the issue and stated that they have had enough time to address the issue and will now be able to meet their shipment dates. All boards that have been repaired will carry a special mark which will let consumers know that the issue has been addressed.

Does anyone know what this mark should look like?
