Hi all,
I posted this in the gc section and thought I would under general hardware as well as a warning to people who might look to use a similar setup. I have spoken to OC's with regards to this issue and they were most unhelpful, not interested and certainly would not take the card back regardless that there is obviously an issue with the implementation of the EDID. According to OC it is just an incompatibilty issue therefore not there concern!
From a company such as Overclockers I frankly expected a bit more than the response I received. I work within the IT industry and I certainly will not deal with Overclockers again due to their attitude. I will follow this up by E-mail and see what happens. As far as I am concerned the goods are not fit for purpose and therefore have the right to return them under the Sales of Goods act.
Hi.
I wonder if anyone has had the same issues as me. I have just built a new system, working perfectly where I built it at work on a normal tft monitor. The system was built to act as a media centre, to connect to a new tv I just bought using a HDMI > DVI-D cable. I tested the tv could be used as a monitor by using my Dell XPS laptop with a Nvidia Graphics card worked perfectly.
However the GC (HIS X1900XT 512meg) seems to be having major problems connecting to the tv. When I connect it and boot up I get no post on the screen as if the tv is not receiving a signal. I am duel booting Vista RC2 and XP. Eventually after 5 minutes the tv bursts into life at the Vista log on screen. From then on it all works. I have done a quick google and it seems that ATI have implemented the EDID extremely badly, it seems to just affect ATI cards and not Nvidia.
Has anyone experienced this before? Looks like I might need to contact OC's and swap the card for a Nvidia. I am just wondering if anyone has seen this, before I swap the card.
Cheers for any advice
