Well it does say instock in the Ati X800 PCI-E section .... here

And yes, because it is based on the R480 design it requires extra power from a 6 pin PCI-E power connector.

Question, my Hiper 480watt psu doesn't have one of these 6 pin plugs...will it work with only the extra power connectors I already have plugged into my DFI NF4 motherboard??

yes it will work sick boy as you get a 4 pin molex to pci-e 6 pin adaptor with it

Cheers for clearing that up Dougsnake, had a wee panic there. lol

Did you connect the power up to the card?

Jakass202 · 7 Oct 2005 at 09:09

I aint an idiot for sure! The 6 pin power connector is connected!! Strange though i left it for a while and eventually the screen came on when xp had finished booting :S, but ive gone back to original bios!

Doh! Hope my works when it turn's up - oh well if not it'll still be faster than the x300 I have.

Matt

Could be a PSU problem!

Got the emerax noisetaker 2.0 ! Without the modded bios the pc is fine!! Got it the other day also from overclockers!!!

Same problem as cheets64 above!

ACPCUP · 7 Oct 2005 at 10:18

Well, all the mods that have been done on this card have been 100% ok! Not sure if you are doing something wrong or you have a faulty card!

Jakass202 · 7 Oct 2005 at 10:20

If it was a faulty card it wouldnt work full stop yes? Plus how dare they put it on the This Week Only like £10 CHEAPER O_*

He is probably sitting with his face in his hands, crying madly!! Hope it is not his Graphics card!!

Matt_Hirst · 7 Oct 2005 at 11:42

Just got shipment confirmation, woohoo!

Me wishes he'd paid for Saturday delivery now - doh! Oh well will have to wait while Monday.

Jakass202 · 7 Oct 2005 at 12:03

Unless OC will take it back and replace i wouldnt know :S

ACPCUP · 7 Oct 2005 at 13:00

Be a shame if his card is not working. Will have to wait and see.

cheets64 · 7 Oct 2005 at 13:49

Its gone from bad to worse, now im old pc wont detect my hdd, after putting my psu back in it and memory.

I cant try another card as i dont have a spare pci graphics card, the psu is fine, so it could either be my new amd 3800+/mobo/memory or the x800 gto2.

if i cant get it working im gonna have to go to the place where i got my cpu/mobo/memory and see if they can sort it out.

ACPCUP · 7 Oct 2005 at 13:52

Did you have a problem before you fitted the Graphics card? But this is a new build, right? Pity you can't get hold of a Graphics card from a mate and try that.

Is your PC coming on or not? What have you tried so far?

Matt_Hirst · 7 Oct 2005 at 13:53

Cheets,

What's the rest of the spec of your build?

Regards,

Matt
